Our work
Newfoundland and Labrador’s wildlife and natural resources are at the heart of our province’s heritage and culture. With the help of our conservation partners, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) works to keep special parts of the province natural. We do this not only for wildlife, but also for the communities that value these places and that have a connection to the land. This page is your gateway to learning more about NCC’s natural areas and conservation planning initiatives in Newfoundland and Labrador.
