Climate Change Adaptation CollaborativeiCAL Subscribe

When a relationship exists between different species allowing the collaboration between the species to the advantage of  either one or both parties, it is called 
symbiosis.

The Climate Change Adaptation Collaborative, Children's Environmental Health Collaborative, and Sustainability Education Alliance—collaboratives under the NBEN—aim to explore this type of relationship and see how, together, we can symbiotically drive environmental action.

This conference will offer:

• live interpretation between French and English
• a catered lunch and health breaks with coffee, teas, and snacks
• a great array of speakers, workshop hosts and guides
• opportunities for networking and creating space for future collaboration

See the draft Agenda below for details on sessions, followed by Speaker Biographies.  (Nb. the agenda and speaker list will continue to be updated as sessions are confirmed.)

This event is offering a one day registration fee if you can only attend one of the two days.

OCTOBER MONTHLY PRESENTATION
“The Hidden Lives of Bats”
Presenter:  Lucas Greville

Bats are the second largest group of mammals on Earth, comprising over 1,400 species that exhibit diverse form, behavior, and ecological roles. Yet their nocturnal nature makes them a mystery for many naturalists and nature enthusiasts. This talk will uncover the hidden lives of bats, introducing key aspects of their biology and natural history. We’ll explore how bats navigate and hunt in the dark, the incredible range of their diets and adaptations, and their ecological significance. Special attention will be given to the bats of New Brunswick, highlighting the species found in our region, their current conservation status, and the challenges they face from habitat loss, white nose syndrome, and wind turbines. Participants will leave with a new appreciation for these remarkable mammals, along with guidance on how to observe, support, and advocate for local bat populations. Whether you’re a lifelong naturalist or newly curious, this presentation will shed light on one of the most misunderstood and ecologically important groups in the animal kingdom.

We’re excited to announce the 2026 Nature-based Solutions Webinar Series, a four-part learning journey focused on accelerating the adoption of nature-based solutions (NbS). Held every Thursday from January 15th to February 5th, this series explores the four foundational themes that make NbS successful: governance and policy alignment, financing and valuation, community engagement, and knowledge and capacity building. Join us to strengthen your understanding and support climate-resilient, community-rooted development.

MARCH 3:  Gregor Jongsma (via Zoom) – Biota NB

Please join Nature Miramichi on March 3 when Greg Jongsma (Acting Curator of Zoology at the New Brunswick Museum) will be presenting on Biota NB. Biota NB is a 20-year biological inventory project supported by the NB Museum in 10 of the largest protected natural areas in the province, ranging in size from 3 000 to 26 000 hectares.

With support from the Environmental Trust Fund and Environment and Climate Change Canada, Nature NB in collaboration with the New Brunswick Environmental Network invites you to participate in a one-and-a-half day, in-person workshop at the Multipurpose Centre in Shediac, New Brunswick. This workshop will bring together fishers, non-profit organizations, provincial and federal government representatives, Indigenous organizations, and industry leaders from across Atlantic Canada to explore the challenges and root causes of ghost gear, and to identify practical, collaborative opportunities to advance ghost gear prevention, mitigation, and retrieval.
