Loch Alva Protected Area

Location: northwest of Saint John

Size: 19,415 ha, will be expanded to 21,925 ha in 2012

Description:   The Loch Alva Wildland is the largest roadless natural area in southern New Brunswick. The area is dominated by Turtle Mountain - a rounded boulder mountain - the large lake of Loch Alva , and an extensive network of lakes, wetlands and forest-covered hills. The Musquash River watershed in this candidate supplies drinking water for the city of Saint John. Together with a coastal Marine Protected Area being proposed for the Musquash estuary, Loch Alva will contribute significantly to a much larger protected area complex.
          This protected area provides habitat for some of the richest concentrations of Atlantic coastal plain flora in New Brunswick, and several other rare plants. Large wild cat sightings in this area are common.
