About
The UNB Woodlot Forest is public property owned by the citizens of New Brunswick. At 3800 acres, these forested wetlands are the origin of 4 major watersheds that extend over the entire southside Fredericton and part of New Maryland. Friends of the UNB Woodlot are asking the municipal and provincial government to rethink the development plans for the UNB Woodlot. "The cost to the public is becoming too great, especially with more severe rain storms of climate change. If our elected representatives choose to do nothing, we will continue to have increased gov't spending, increased property taxes, increased property insurance rates, increased flood risk, and decreased UNB Alumni support."
