Canadian Wilderness Stewardship Program (2022-2023) - Program Goals Program Activities
3 June 2022
Summary
Program Activities As part of the Canadian Wilderness Stewardship Program, youth will participate in a wilderness expedition of a regional watercourse or other area of conservation value and will be asked to design and execute, with the support of CPAWS program coordinators, a volunteer community service project. [...] The addition of new marine protected areas (MPAs) in the internationally important Bay of Fundy would help to conserve the most ecologically significant areas of the Bay and ensure protection, into the future, for this wild ocean treasure. [...] The area is part of the unceded, traditional territory of the Algonquin Peoples whose presence in the region goes back over 5000 years. [...] The topography of the Highlands is rugged, with well forested hills rising sharply from the shores of the Madawaska River. [...] The forest is a mixture of mostly middle- aged conifer and deciduous trees, regenerated following the cutting and fires of the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.
