UNB WOODLOT


Acquired shortly after the 1785 creation of the University of New Brunswick, Canada’s oldest university, this 3,200-ha wooded area has been reduced by commercial development but retains at its core the 632-ha Creighton Conservation Forest.


From the entrance at 100 Knowledge Park Drive, walking and mountain biking trails will lead you through the woodland to ponds, wetlands, and Corbett Brook, which has a waterfall.


The woodlot provides a number of forested habitats typical of the Acadian forest region. Thus it offers a broad spectrum of terrestrial birds, especially flycatchers and warblers, including the Canada Warbler, classified endangered by COSEWIC. Aquatic species may be spotted in scattered wetlands.
