Committed to the conservation, enhancement and stewardship of habitat across Newfoundland and Labrador

Hawke's Bay is rich in wildlife and waterfowl diversity. Beaches and wetland areas support shorebirds and a diversity of waterfowl, songbird, mammal and fish species. There are four Conservation Areas within the Hawke's Bay Stewardship Zone. Whale Factory Pond, Rapes Pond and their associated bogs (327.2 acres) are very productive sites with healthy populations of beaver and nesting waterfowl. Torrent River (284.7 acres) is a major salmon river, often packed with anglers during the fishing season. Otter Pond (962.5 acres) is the most productive pond in Hawke's Bay, with the highest diversity of plant and animal life. The fourth area is an as yet unnamed wetland complex (93.5 acres) made up of a small pond and several small bogs, that provides great habitat for black ducks.
