The Canadian province of New Brunswick is home to more than 20 rare and threatened species (called “Species at Risk”) that can be found on farms. These include insects such as Yellow-banded Bumblebee, grassland birds such as the Short-eared Owl, bats like the Little Brown Myotis, and even turtles, such as the Wood Turtle. While some of these species are entirely dependent on agriculture for their survival in New Brunswick, like the Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark, others have a more complicated relationship with farming. The SARPAL initiative was designed to help recover and protect Species at Risk found in agricultural areas in the Wolostok / St. John River Watershed of New Brunswick, by working with producers to identify and implement effective solutions.
