🚗 With the Victoria Day long weekend just one week away, we’re getting ready to welcome more visitors back to Fundy National Park!

Fundy is open year-round, but May long marks the beginning of our busiest season—and a great opportunity to reconnect with nature.

From dramatic coastal views shaped by the highest tides in the world to forest trails, waterfalls, and river valleys, spring is a beautiful time to explore the park.

As you plan your visit, a little preparation can go a long way:

• Check trail conditions and tide times before heading out
• Pack layers—coastal weather can shift quickly
• Choose activities that match your comfort and experience level, whether hiking, cycling, or paddling
• Take a few minutes to inspect camping gear, tarps, footwear, and safety equipment before your trip
• Help protect park ecosystems by cleaning and drying boats, paddles, fishing gear, bike tires, and boot soles to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species
• Stop by the Visitor Centre for up-to-date information, safety tips, and local recommendations

We’re looking forward to another great season. See you soon at Fundy!

Point Wolfe Road is now open to the Tippen Lot parking area—making it easy to get out and enjoy Dickson Falls.

With strong spring flows, the falls are looking especially vibrant right now. It’s a great time to capture the details—moss-covered rocks, rushing water, and the fresh forest greens.

Enjoy these staff photos taken just last week!

Conditions can change quickly this time of year. Dress in layers and come prepared—and don’t forget to pick up a park pass before your visit.

📸 Photography with Care

Great wildlife photos don’t happen by getting closer—they happen by knowing when to keep your distance.

These close‑up images were captured using telephoto lenses, allowing staff to observe and document wildlife without disturbing animals or their environment.

When photographing wildlife, please remember:

✅ Keep a safe and respectful distance
✅ Never approach animals for photos or selfies
✅ Don’t move plants, branches, or natural features
✅ Let wildlife behave naturally—on their terms

Respectful photography helps keep wildlife safe and wild.

🦌 National Wildlife Week

Every spring, National Wildlife Week (April 5-9) is a chance to pause and notice the wildlife that shares our landscapes—and the work that goes into protecting it.

At Fundy National Park, conservation happens year-round. Park teams monitor moose, bird populations, forests, and plant communities, while working to recover and protect species like the inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon that depend on healthy rivers and connected habitats.

This ongoing work helps us understand change and make informed decisions that support resilient, thriving ecosystems.

Moments like these young bucks sparring remind us why this work matters, not just for one species, but for the entire system that supports it.

Do you want to contribute? Help nature science grow by downloading the iNaturalist app and sharing what you discover in your own backyard or on your next visit to Fundy. 🌱 🪻

🌍✨ Celebrate 20 Years of Earth Hour ✨🌍

On Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 p.m., join millions of people around the world by turning off your lights for one hour—a simple action that raises awareness about climate change and the importance of protecting nature. 💚

Earth Hour is more than a moment in the dark—it’s about sparking conversations and taking action for our planet.

🌿 Fundy National Park is proud to support a healthier, more sustainable future. As you turn off the lights, take a moment to reflect on the forests, rivers, waterfalls, and coastal ecosystems we all share—and our role in protecting them for generations to come.

🌊 Water shapes everything here—sometimes quietly, sometimes all at once.

At Fundy, it moves through forest streams, carves waterfalls, fills still lakes, and rises and falls with the highest tides in the world.

Water has always shaped this landscape—carving valleys, feeding forests, and sustaining the rhythms of life.

Shipbuilding, fisheries, and log drives came to depend on the timing and force of the tides. At low tide, you can still spot traces of this past—like the weir below the Bluff.

Water doesn’t stand still—and neither do we. Monitoring, research, and collaboration all help us understand change and respond to it.

Caring for water means caring for the ecosystems and communities that depend on it.

This World Water Day, take a moment to notice where water gathers, moves, and connects life across the landscape. 🌊🌲

🌞 Spring has officially arrived at Fundy National Park!

Have you ever wondered why we call this the vernal equinox?

“Vernal” means spring or new growth — a perfect way to describe this turning point toward longer, brighter days.

Daylight is starting to stretch, bringing that familiar feeling of momentum. Forests begin to stir, waterfalls swell with snowmelt, and the Bay of Fundy coastline slowly awakens from winter.

It’s the perfect time to get outside, explore, and enjoy the season!

⚠ Trail Conditions Update – Fundy National Park ⚠

As temperatures rise and we move closer to spring, trail surfaces are becoming mixed and can be slippery.

🥾❄️ Visitors are strongly encouraged to wear crampons or traction devices when walking on trails, as icy sections remain in many shaded areas.

➡ Fat biking and cross‑country skiing are not recommended at this time, as conditions are poor and deteriorating.

➡ Opportunities abound for walking and snowshoeing, with beautiful late‑winter scenery and hints of the warmer seasons ahead.

As always, conditions can change quickly — stay safe, check trail conditions before heading out, and dress in layers.

✨ World Wildlife Day – A Rare Marten Moment at Fundy NP

Remember Mona and Mark from our quiet season explorers post? On a previous hike, they captured something truly special — an American marten, a species once extirpated from Fundy National Park and now present again in the park.

To celebrate World Wildlife Day, we’re excited to share their video and a few quick reasons why this sighting matters:

🟫 Cool Marten Facts

🌲 They are a sign of healthy forests — Martens prefer older‑growth forest habitats.

🐾 Reintroduced in the 1984–1989 period — and again in 1991 — 50 martens were released in Fundy to restore a species lost from the park.

📸 Ongoing monitoring — 2009–2011, photo stations (remote cameras) documented their presence within Fundy National Park.

❄️ Built for winter — Big furry feet act like natural snowshoes.

🌱 Seed helpers — They disperse berry seeds throughout the forest.

💚 Still rare to see — Which is why Mona and Mark’s sighting is such a treat!

🎥 Moments like this highlight the importance of protected places and long term conservation.

Happy World Wildlife Day from Fundy National Park! 💚🌲🦊
