We began a freshwater habitat stewardship program in 1993 that developed into the Fort Folly Habitat Recovery program in 2002. The program is focused on recovery efforts for endangered inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon, and we work in partnership with DFO and Parks Canada. We have grown to play an essential role in salmon recovery in four NB watersheds and leading efforts on the Petitcodiac River in the heart of Fort Folly's traditional territory. We are hoping to expand our operations to include patrols of the land and water and to build relationships with local non-indigenous community to improve stewardship.
