Estuaire de la Grand Codroy

This international acclaim is well deserved. Over 100 species of birds have been identified in the Codroy Valley, including songbirds, shorebirds and waterfowl. It’s not just the birds that make this area special; a number of rare plant species, such as eastern hay-scented fern and Fernald’s serviceberry, are known to occur in the estuary. If you want to see birds and unique plants that are uncommon in the rest of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Codroy Valley is the place to go.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada's (NCC’s) Grand Codroy Estuary Nature Reserve is a collection of properties around the Grand Codroy River, totalling 293 hectares. NCC relies on strong community ties and support to ensure the success of our conservation efforts in the Codroy Valley. When NCC staff are absent, we are grateful that the community takes care of these ecological treasures. NCC has long had a successful stewardship presence in the area. We make annual efforts to initiate and lead educational outdoor activities related to habitat conservation, including through Conservation Volunteers and community outreach events.

The Codroy Valley Area Development Association maintains a trail, accessible from the Wetland Interpretation Centre, that provides hiking access to one section of NCC’s Nature Reserve.

With your help, we can conserve even more precious habitat here.
