Why Are We Requesting a Contribution?

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre is a non-profit organization operated by a volunteer board of directors. Our mandate is to provide educational programming about nature, history, and sustainability. Contributions help to support our education programs, school tours, and the sustainable operation of our facilities. 

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre is located in a federal National Wildlife Area, but is neither owned nor operated by the Government of Canada. A Visitor Information Centre (VIC), operated by the Government of New Brunswick, closed in 2016. 

Please note, there is no cost to enter the National Wildlife Area. The contribution only applies to vehicles who wish to use the nature centre parking lot.

Thank you for your support!

Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns. We appreciate your feedback!
