The Appalachian Hardwood Forest, once covering 500,000 acres in New Brunswick, is now one of the most threatened forest types in our province, with less than 1% remaining. 
Since 1997, the Nature Trust has been dedicated to identifying and protecting these important at-risk ecosystems.

A forest with trees so massive and so magnificent that you’d have to lay down on the ground just to look up to see it all.” 
Right now, with YOUR help, we have an opportunity to protect one of these magnificent properties in Hovey Hill, near Woodstock
