Five Organizations Worth Knowing This Earth Day

There's nothing like getting out with your community for a trash cleanup or tree planting on Earth Day. This year, I also want to point you to some of my favourite local organizations that do environmental work year round:

Nature Trust of New Brunswick — protecting natural areas across the province through land conservation and stewardship

Conservation Council of New Brunswick — policy, advocacy, and public education on environmental issues

Nashwaak Watershed Association — protecting and restoring the Nashwaak River watershed

The Gaia Project — bringing climate and sustainability education into New Brunswick schools

Fredericton Botanic Garden Association —maintaining almost 20 different gardens in Odell Park, right on the edge of Ward 10
