In honour of World Wetlands Day, Feb. 2, the Conservation Council of New Brunswick and New Brunswick wildlife and conservation photographer Nick Hawkins have teamed up to create a virtual tour of NB wetlands and the wildlife that rely on them. To take the tour, visit the gallery here.
You can’t walk far in New Brunswick without getting your feet wet. New Brunswick’s wetlands can be beautiful, peaceful, full of life and they are critical to our forests, our coastlines and our marine waters. They deserve to be protected and they deserve to be celebrated.
SPECIAL DEAL: Nick is offering a 25% discount on ALL the prints on his website, with half the proceeds going to CCNB! Use the coupon code “CCNB” to receive 25% off ready-to-hang mounted prints delivered directly to your door.
At CCNB, we spend a lot of time trying to ensure laws and regulations respect our wetlands and that activities in our forests, in our communities, and on our coastlines don’t cause undue harm to these import natural areas which keep us safe during times of flood and keep our natural ecosystems buzzing year round. You can read about some of our recent efforts to raise awareness of gaps in wetlands protections in NB, to assess the health of coastal estuaries in light of nutrient pollution, and to celebrate the many creatures and plants that call wetlands home through a new collaboration about NB biodiversity, the Live Wild project.
We’re particularly pleased to have Nick Hawkins help us celebrate our New Brunswick wetlands. A young New Brunswicker, Nick has quickly gained international attention for his captivating photography. Nick’s work has been featured in the BBC Wildlife Magazine and Canadian Geographic and he has received awards in the Windland Smith Rice International photography awards as well as the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2014. Nick is passionate about New Brunswick’s wilderness, its Acadian forest, rivers, lakes, coasts and ocean waters. His work highlights the wonder of our natural areas and calls on all of us to appreciate, protect and restore what we have. Follow Nick on Facebook to see his latest photos.
