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

The Indian Bay Brook Conservation Area (2,877 acres) is located in the Northcentral Subregion of the Central Newfoundland Forest. Indian Bay Brook has a rich and diverse ecosystem, consisting mostly of black spruce, white spruce and balsam fir stands with scattered hardwoods, such as trembling aspen, white birch and mountain alder thickets. Vegetation in the area all provide food and shelter to the many diverse wildlife species found throughout Indian Bay. Indian Bay Brook is well known for its populations of Brook Trout and is one of the best fishing areas on the island. Banded killifish, a vulnerable species in Newfoundland, is also found in the waters of Indian Bay. Ideal habitat in the area also provides homes for many species of mammals including moose and otter. A large diversity of birds can also be found in the region, including songbirds, birds of prey and waterfowl, for which there is extensive feeding and staging habitat.
