Stewardship and management

Kouchibouguac National Park, established in 1979, protects 238 km^² of Maritime Plain natural region along New Brunswick’s eastern coast. Its diverse habitats include barrier islands, salt marshes, forests, and tidal rivers, home to over 15 species at risk, such as the piping plover and Gulf of St. Lawrence aster. Designated a dark sky preserve, the park also celebrates the cultural heritage of the night sky.
