NEW BRUNSWICK’S FUNDY VISITOR PLEDGE

The Bay of Fundy, recognized as a “Natural Wonder of the World”, is vital for species habitat and rivals the biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest. The coastlines, tidal wetlands, and forested mountains and valleys are part of the Wabanaki Forest, the most biodiverse forest type in North America. The significance of the region is underscored by two UNESCO designations: Fundy Biosphere Region and Stonehammer Geopark. These remarkable natural treasures inspire hope for a future where nature is preserved and protected.

EXPLOre beaches, forests, & rivers

I pledge to explore Fundy’s wild places with care, leaving no trace and respecting the delicate balance of coast, forest, and tide. I will reduce my impact, tread lightly on trails, and preserve the natural and historic elements I encounter along the way. I will travel with intention – carrying out what I bring in, respecting fire safety, and letting nature remain undisturbed.

CELEBRATE local culture, traditions, & heritage

I pledge to celebrate the rich cultural fabric of this region, shaped by Indigenous Peoples, Acadian settlers, and generations of those who have called it home. I will engage with local communities with openness and respect, appreciating the traditions, stories, and creative expressions that reflect this place.

OBSERVE wildlife & natural habitats

I pledge to observe wildlife from a distance, to never feed animals or disrupt their habitat, and to ensure my presence does not interfere with the natural rhythms of the land. I will protect the wellbeing of all living things by storing food properly and keeping pets under control.

SUPPORT LOCAL eat, stay, & shop

I pledge to support local businesses, accommodations, and artisans who sustain the character and economy of this region. I will choose experiences and purchases that are rooted in the community and reflect the unique identity of New Brunswick, especially those marked "Made in NB."

SHARE trails, roads, & parking areas

I pledge to share space responsibly – whether on trails, roads, or viewpoints – by being courteous, quiet, and conscious of others. I will walk, bike, or carpool when possible and be thoughtful about where and when I travel to reduce crowding.

PLAN AHEAD for a safe & meaningful visit

I pledge to plan ahead, stay safe, and be prepared for Fundy’s changing weather, shifting tides, and rugged terrain. I will read local guidance, follow posted signs, and travel with awareness and care.

By taking this pledge, I commit to being a respectful and responsible guest in the Fundy  region – honouring its past, preserving its present, and protecting its future. 

Honour the land. Respect the waters. Walk with care.
