FIGURE 2: Mission, Vision, Values Statement The following represents the official ‘Mission, Vision, and Values’ of the Nature Trust of New Brunswick, which was approved at the AGM on October 31, 2015. Mission • To CONSERVE areas in perpetuity that have ecological, scenic, cultural, geological, or recreational value by establishing a network of nature preserves throughout New Brunswick. • To STEWARD the nature preserves through sustainable management with the support of land stewards and community groups. • To EDUCATE the public about the importance of land conservation and environmental stewardship, engaging and connecting all people with nature. Vision We envision a future in which New Brunswick’s remarkable natural heritage is honoured through an expanding network of nature preserves that are conserved in perpetuity, providing habitat for our province’s native species. Values • We take a science-based and strategic approach to identifying and acquiring private lands by using the best available conservation science and data, while remaining flexible to ensure responsiveness as conservation opportunities arise. • We are forward-thinking and know that the safeguarding of natural spaces benefits current and future generations by enhancing their quality of life with intact and healthy ecosystems where people can experience a connection with nature. • We strive to collaborate and build partnerships with all sectors, including landowners, government, the private sector, other non-governmental organizations, cultural organizations, academic institutions, communities, and individuals to strengthen our capacity, leverage our limited resources, and engage as many partners as possible in conservation and stewardship. • We appreciate and support diversity on a number of levels, including the diversity of all living things and the conservation of habitat for biodiversity to thrive, but also the inclusivity of all human beings. • We embrace creativity and new ideas that help us to further our mission to conserve, steward, and educate and strive to apply innovative approaches to all of our projects and programs.
