GANDER, Newfoundland — The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is announcing a bold campaign to protect more than 1,800 hectares of boreal forest, freshwater shoreline and wetlands in central Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the largest land donation NCC has received during its 54-year history working in Atlantic Canada. Domtar has agreed to donate land to NCC, thus allowing NCC to conserve four large parcels of forested lands and waters along the Southwest Gander River and Gander Lake near the communities of Glenwood and Appleton. The land donation project is significant as it enables better wildlife movement through connected conservation lands. Less than three per cent of the Central Newfoundland ecoregion currently falls under conservation status. …”This initiative reflects our commitment to community, sustainability and collaboration… that safeguard biodiversity — which is embedded in our 2030 sustainability strategy. We are honored to play a role,” said Luc Thériault, President, Domtar Wood Products.
