Take part and learn more about the sustainable actions and land stewardship programs that the KAN Centre is involved in.
The Forest Restoration Project
The Forest Restoration Project is an initiative dedicated to scaling up forest restoration practices and increasing native tree and shrub populations in Western New Brunswick.
We aim to see more people being engaged in understanding and appreciating the traditional Wabanaki Acadian Forest Ecosystem alongside efforts to protect and restore degraded ecosystems. We want to encourage residents and newcomers to this region to have a collective goal of tending nurseries and starting their own backyard nurseries where possible!
Community Seed Saving Initiatives
Seeds are magical, compact initiators of life. We feel seed saving is a natural part of any full circle garden and it is an important skill to cultivate in our community. In our school, gardens, workshops on-site and out in the larger community, we are happy to share this seed passion.
Come visit our seed library or community seed garden! Learn about the importance of saving seeds and begin saving your own!
Pollinator Protection
We are deeply dependent on pollinators. Their work sustains our ecosystems by helping plants reproduce and they’re responsible for providing one third of the food we eat! We rely on more than just bees; in fact, there are over 1,000 species of pollinators in Canada… which include butterflies, bats, beetles, birds, and other insects & small mammals.
Bee Friendly and join fellow New Brunswicker’s in an effort to create a pollinator friendly corridor. Take the pledge to protect native pollinators from bees to butterflies to birds!
Healthy/Clean Water Initiatives
The KAN Centre is engaging in community lead initiatives to observe and inform people on the health and quality of the water around us. We monitor nearby rivers, ponds and lakes through the Water Rangers program, track rainfall through rainfall and precipitation with the help of CoCoraHS, and have taken part in rain barrel fundraisers with rainbarrel.ca!
