    Biodiversity Strategy: Conserving biodiversity and using biological resources in a sustainable manner. June 2009 Cover Photos: Little southwest Miramichi River DNR Photo Raccoon Procyon lotor Photo Canada Green Frog Rana clamitans Photo Canada Fiddlehead Matteuccia struthiopteris CNB Photo River Jewelwing Calopteryx aequabilis DNR Photo Great Horned Owl Bubo virginianus Photo Canada Lady’s Slipper Cypripedium acaule CNB Photo CNB5362 New Brunswick Biodiversity Strategy Message from the Premier Biodiversity is the diversity of life and the lands, waters and seascapes that support this life. As New Brunswickers, much of our heritage and sense of belonging comes from our connection with the environments in which we live and work. Repeatedly, public surveys have shown we value biodiversity and place a high level of importance on maintaining a healthy environment for ourselves and future generations. Here in New Brunswick we are fortunate to live in a place and at a time when most of our native plants, animals and ecosystems, both managed and wild, are healthy. As such, now is an opportune time to be conservation minded as we work together to achieve self-sufficiency and tackle the challenges of climate change. Hon. Shawn Graham Premier of New Brunswick As Premier, I am proud to lead a government that has put in place a strategy to ensure biodiversity will be considered in our decision making. The New Brunswick Biodiversity Strategy establishes achievable biodiversity conservation and sustainable use goals and outcomes for our province. It sets in place a framework to facilitate coordinated and collaborative approaches to achieving common goals so that we will be able to address conservation and sustainable use issues in balance with the need for economic and social development.

    Indigenous Protected & Conserved Areas Recognizing Indigenous Rights OVERVIEW ´ Introduction ´ Our Vision ´ Identified Sites ´ Moving Forward with IPCAs ´ Discussion & Questions INTRODUCTION ´ The Mi’gmaq have been the stewards of the lands and waters of Mi’gmag’i since time immemorial. As our Co-Chair Chief George Ginnish has stated: “Our relationship with the lands, waters and resources is the foundation of our identity.” ´ Mi’gmagi includes what is presently called New Brunswick, and, along with our Wabanaki brothers and sisters, the Wolastoqiyik and Peskotomuhkati Nations, we signed Treaties of Peace and Friendship with the Crown that did not cede our lands, but instead recognized and protected our relationship with our lands. Before Pathway – MTI Goals & Visions ´ Well before Pathway to Canada Target 1, Mi’gmawel’l Tplu’taqnn have had a long-standing vision of being more involved in both the management of existing parks and protected areas, and the creation of Indigenous-led protected areas. ´ NB Chiefs had developed a policy on the creation of tribal parks as part of a network of parks and protected areas. ´ The Pathway to Canada Target 1 represents an opportunity to not only expand that vision, but to fully recognize the development and implementation of IPCA’s. OUR VISION ´ Our vision for IPCA’s is protected areas akin to Wilderness Areas or Parks with a high degree of protection, some public access for limited purposes, and allowing for sustainable harvesting of plants and animals by the Mi’gmaq. ´ Our work would implement the vision, and develop a full-fledged Mi’gmaq protected areas strategy, implemented across Mi’gmag’i.

Box 3000, Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada E2A 3Z8 May 2005 ii FIELD TRIP OVERVIEW Day 1: Stops 1 to 24. Participants will leave Bathurst, NB at 8:00 AM and follow Route 180 through the wilderness areas of the Miramichi Highlands and Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Day 1 stops represent a transect across all three subzones of the Gaspé Belt. The night will be spent at the O’Regal Motel in Kedgwick on Route 17. Day 2: Stops 25 to 40. The trip will leave the O’Regal at 8:00 AM. Todays stops, all in the Restigouche River-Squaw Cap-Campbellton area, straddle the Aroostook-Percé Anticlinorium (Late Ordovician to Early Silurian) and Chaleur Bay Synclinorium (Early Silurian to Early Devonian). The night will be spent at Howard Johnson’s in Campbellton. Day 3: Stops 41 to 50. Another early start will ensure that we are able to catch low tide at Dalhousie, where we will visit the excellent coastal exposures of the Lower Devonian Val d’Amour Formation (Dalhousie Group), first studied by Clarke in 1909. The trip will conclude with stops in the Silurian volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Chaleurs Group along the Chaleur Bay coast and Route 11. iii A NEW BRUNSWICK APPALACHIAN TRANSECT: BEDROCK AND QUATERNARY GEOLOGY OF THE MOUNT CARLETON – RESTIGOUCHE RIVER AREA TABLE OF CONTENTS Field Trip Overview …………………………………………………………………………....ii Safety Issues …………………………………………………………………………………...
