Annual General Meeting – October 4, 2014 Village of Gagetown, New Brunswick The Nature Trust of New Brunswick’s 27th Annual General Meeting took place in the Village of Gagetown on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014. Over 30 Nature Trust members, board members, staff, and other interested individuals gathered in the Alfred Ashburn Memorial Legion Branch for a presentation by Executive Director Renata Woodward about conservation planning work along the St. John River and then the annual meeting. President Lynn MacKinnon opened the meeting by welcoming everyone and introducing members to all of the board members and staff in the room. Lynn gave the group an overview of some of the past year’s highlights, including the conservation of Seven Days Work Cliff on Grand Manan, the expansion of the Saints Rest Marsh-F. Gordon Carvell Nature Preserve in Saint John, a letter that was sent to DNR expressing concerns over NB's forestry strategy announcement, and the launch of the province-wide ExploreEcoNB app.
is currently in development to be installed in the coming year. Several new nature preserve acquisitions are also in the works (stay tuned!). Communications Committee Wayne Burley, Chair of the Communications Committee, highlighted some of the communications successes over the 2013/14 year, including the implementation of a new logo and look for the organization, the launch of ExploreEcoNB—a project with nine other partners that was managed by the Nature Trust, the Lieutenant-Governor’s Award for Excellence in Land Conservation, and several nature preserve grand openings. Some upcoming changes to membership were outlined and discussed, requiring a vote by members to change a by-law, which was passed. Please see the enclosed letter that outlines some of these changes.
A big ‘thank you’ to the many volunteers and supporters who played such a large role in the success of the Nature Trust over the past year! To acknowledge the importance of ‘stewardship’, we chose it as the theme for our 2nd annual 'On the Rise' fundraising event. Two new preserves were officially protected in the 2013/14 fiscal year thanks to many generous cash and inkind donations to the Nature Trust. We also proceeded with many education projects led by our hard working staff, board, and volunteers. Executive Director Renata and staff have worked above and beyond in many initiatives, including conservation planning, outreach, and managing day-to-day financial and administrative activities. A special thanks to the board of directors, committee members, and partners who have worked so well together in making this past year a successful one. I hope that you enjoy reading this Annual Report and some of the activities and accomplishments of the past year. Please feel free to contact me or the office if you would like to get involved and/or have any questions. I hope that you will continue to support the Nature Trust as we move forward.

With the completion existing preserves (see stewardship report on page 2-4 for more information). He also pointed out a series of man made and environmental threats faced by the Nature Trust’s nature preserves in the past year such as illegal harvesting and severe weather events. Despite the issues, the committee is working to fix and restore the preserves and maintain the trails damaged by Hurricane Arthur. Furthermore, the committee is focused on getting larger groups to help out with the stewardship of nature preserves such as the Friends of Blueberry Hill and the Friends of Grindstone Island groups. There is also a lot to look forward to, as new Teamwork to clean up the Meredith Houseworth Memorial Seashore Nature Preserve & Conservation Easement interpretive signage for over 10 nature preserves (Photo: Bibo Pohl) The Nature Trust of New Brunswick, Inc. | La Fondation pour la protection des sites naturels du Nouveau-Brunswick, Inc. is a charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of natural areas of special scientific, educational, or aesthetic value.

A year in review (continued)
of her two-year term as President, Lynn MacKinnon will now be Past President. Former Past President Don Dennison was elected as Trustee Emeritus and was recognized for his contributions to the organization since 2006. Another outgoing board member is Treasurer Andy Hardie, as well as Trustee Emeritus Mike Dillon who has been involved with the Nature Trust since 1987. We would like to thank them all for their dedication. An executive election also took place and Mike Bonga was sworn in as the new President for the Nature Trust’s Board of Trustees. New board member Brenda O’Donnell who has a strong financial background as an accountant with McCain Foods will be joining the executive as Treasurer. Treasurer’s report Lynn MacKinnon, on behalf of Treasurer Andy Hardie, presented the financial statements for the fiscal year, ending April 30, 2014. A surplus of 33,994 in the general account was

reported. As in previous years, this excess revenue is a result of project funding received prior to the end of the fiscal year, but which was specifically allocated to projects to be completed in 2014/15. Additional revenue in stewardship and endowment accounts was invested according to the Nature Trust’s financial policy. The financial table presents a summary of financial statements for 2014 compared to 2013. This was a strong year in terms of increasing the organization’s financial stability. Executive Director’s Report Renata Woodward took the audience through the successes of programs and projects during her presentation. She highlighted the three pillars of the organization—conservation, stewardship and education—and the organization’s desire to streamline all projects into permanent, self-sustaining programs. She described a new landowner conservation program that is being developed as a result of the St. John River conservation planning initiative. She reminded the audience about the

beauty and accessibility of the network of existing preserves and how can they engage with them. She also outlined the Power of Nature program that is being shaped through involvement of new demographics such as children, at risk youth and Surplus/(Deficit) newcomers to Canada.

Renata thanked all board members, stewards, volunteers, funders and staff for their commitment to the organization and their passion for the natural spaces that steers this organization in the right direction.
Stewardship Report
Stewardship is the core of Nature Trust’s work, and is carried out by all of our dedicated Land Stewards, Stewardship Committee members, and volunteers. It is thanks to them that 33 out of 37 nature preserves have been monitored this year, new signage has been installed, trails have been built and maintained, four beaches have been cleaned, and public nature hikes, workshops and paddling events have all been possible. These stewardship activities have increased public awareness and the ecological integrity of our preserves. Steward Evan Young organized a cleanup of Arthur Kyle Nature Preserve with the Fundy Paddlers Club. The island has seen some erosion damage from ice over the last few years and some human-induced changes from the dam. This year, a new management plan was written for Beardsley Hill Nature Preserve by volunteer Sarah Alston, along with a visit in June. Unfortunately, there has been dumping on-site, but hopefully the development of a Friends of Beardsley Hill stewardship group will counter this by engaging the community and increasing awareness. We thank Steward George Peabody for his continued commitment. We welcome Audrey Norman who has taken on the role as Steward of Belding’s Reef Nature Preserve and want to give a big thank

you to Board Member and Steward Wayne Burley for all of his hard work to improve the visitor experience at this site. With the help of the Chance Harbour community, trail maintenance work was completed on four occasions, along with new parking arrangements and signage. On June 14, the opening of the new bridge was celebrated at Blueberry Hill Nature Preserve. Dr. Stephen Clayden familiarized participants with the area during a guided nature walk. Thanks to the Friends of Blueberry Hill, volunteers, and the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield who spent countless hours to make this possible. An additional
60 trees were planted by the 1st Westfield Scouts in September. More work is required to clean up the trails and the newest trail could use some additional boardwalk over the wet areas. The Paroisse Saint-Francois-de-Sales is working with us to get the new Boar’s Head Nature Preserve sign installed and to help build the Friends of Boar’s Head stewardship group. The trail was cleaned up after a number of wind events and the trail markers were refreshed. A CBC Information Morning Saint John radio segment about the preserve aired in September.

Annual Report - 2013/2014 Hyla Park Nature Preserve was flooded until late August, which put a hold on our Frog Walks. Many trees were also blown down after Hurricane Arthur, which obstructed the trail, but have since been removed. Stewards from Remsoft Inc. noted that beavers have been very active in felling trees and that there may be a new resident Great Blue Heron. A success has been the planting of two new wildlife gardens near the preserve’s entrance and a few Gray Tree Frog sightings.

Gibson Creek Canoeing made the monitoring of Burpee Bar Nature Preserve possible with a canoe trip from James C. Yerxa Nature Preserve to Sugar Island Nature Preserve, stopping at Burpee Bar along the way. Nature Trust board members and funders who took part in the trip reported that the preserve is in great condition.

Steward and Board Member Walter Emrich took a trip to the Dick’s Island Nature Preserve with artist Michael McEwing, and noted that the number of nesting gulls and eiders has declined over the years, which may be due to more Bald Eagles in the area. Also, at least a dozen seals were reported to be seen near the island. Earlier this year, Maritime Daytripping led a very successful paddle to Dick’s Island during St. Andrews Paddlefest.
Cape Enrage Nature Preserve lost a very dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring Steward this year, Mary Majka, who passed away on February 12, 2014.

In addition to our long standing Stewards Tom, Lena, and Sam Beckley, the Oromocto Youth Stewards of the Environment have been taking good care of James C. Yerxa Nature Preserve, with three monitoring trips over the course of the year and a planned signage installation trip for November. Along with this, employees of KPMG Fredericton spent a volunteer day at the preserve, removing trash from the area. We are very excited about a new partnership with Canoe Kayak New Brunswick, which led to several successful paddling events from MayAugust, including a paddle with Scouts Canada Beavers and their dads to the L’Etang Islands Nature Preserve in celebration of Father’s Day. MacNichol/Orser Conservation Easement, located along the St. Croix River in St. Stephen, protects a large area of bog and forested land. Easement owner Peter Orser reports no changes over the past year. Steward Walter Emrich reported great news from his visit to the Manawagonish Island Nature Preserve: seven Bald Eagles, a Peregrine Falcon nest, and 16 out of 20 nesting platforms being used by the Great Blue Herons. About 80 of the 467 trees planted in 2007 are now above the surrounding ground vegetation and are free to grow. Looks like restoration efforts on this nature preserve are a success. Meredith Houseworth Memorial Seashore Nature Preserve and Conservation Easement was visited by Nature Trust members, along with easement owner Jean-Louis Deveau. The beach was cleaned by 25 volunteers on September 20 as part of the annual Charlotte Isles Cleanup, paired this year with the national Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. The Long Island trip that was planned for Minister’s Face Nature Preserve and Rayworth Beach Nature Preserve by youth Steward Jack Flood, was not able to happen due to unforeseen circumstances. The trip will be re-scheduled for next year. Navy Island Conservation Easement and Nature Preserve was monitored by air this year, with no major changes noted. New River Island Nature Preserve continues to be an important nesting ground for Common Eiders. Stewards Susan and Winston Mott report that the island is in great condition. A paddling trip to the island also took place during the New River Beach Sand Sculpture

Pickerel Pond Nature Preserve Steward Christine Antle has been working hard with her neighbours to establish a right-of-way with new adjacent landowners for public to be able to access the property’s beach and pond. She also reports that conditions on the preserve remain unchanged and wildlife continues to flourish. This year was Christine’s last year as a Steward. We thank her for her many years of dedication and welcome new Steward Taylor Gray. Stewards Ida and David MacPherson, as well as two neighbours, removed all of the fallen trees at Sea Dog Cove Nature Preserve and maintained the culvert that was washed out by heavy rain. Thanks to Steward Debbie Logan for mowing the trail, making it more accessible for visitors. Artist Michael McEwing also visited this preserve and completed an amazing painting of Pink Lady Slippers, which he observed on the property in early summer.
With the lease renewed last year, Shea Lake will continue to be conserved by the Nature Trust. Steward Jim Goltz has visited the preserve and remarks that it is in great condition. South Wolf Island Nature Preserve was monitored by air this year. Stewards and ornithologists Tony and Dorothy Diamond are planning a monitoring trip in the next few years.

The trail running along the Thomas B. Munro Memorial Shoreline on Grand Manan remains in great condition thanks to the Friends of Grand Manan Trails. Steward Peter Cronk has not reported any changes to the preserve over the past year. No changes have been noted for Thompson Marsh Nature Preserve, but a cleanup day should be scheduled for next year.
