The Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance is currently looking for 2 to 4 members to join our Board of Directors. The Petiticodiac Watershed extends through much of Southeastern New Brunswick. We are looking for a diversity of individuals with a commitment to the vitality and well-being of our watershed’s natural and human communities.

About Us

The Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance works to protect and restore the health of the watersheds flowing into the Shepody Bay in Southeastern New Brunswick. We focus on education, species-at-risk, water conservation, nature-based solutions, water quality monitoring and stream and river restoration. In the face of climate change, the environmental resiliency of our communities and watershed requires your help to ensure that its beauty and resources are there in the future.

Our Board of Directors plays a critical role in shaping the policies that provide the organization with strategic direction, volunteering, fundraising, and fiduciary oversight. We are currently celebrating 25 years of protecting this river system.

We have an office in Moncton. We carry out our work through a core group staff. They are joined in the field season by a host of interns who acquire life and employment skills. The Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance has significantly grown in recent years. We want to attract diverse board members who will contribute to all aspects of our watershed. With your help, we want to build new initiatives to respond to the current challenges and stresses we and our environment face.

Above all the Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance is about connecting people to bring about positive change in our watershed. We realize that our Board of Directors has to be inclusive in its representation. We aim to provide a healthy working environment, not only for the Board but also for our staff. In striving for meaningful relationships with people from diverse backgrounds, we emphasize listening, building mutual trust and providing a respectful working environment at all times.
