Trail Cams & Bird Monitors

Biodiversity monitoring program

Diversity of forests support diversity of wildlife

Wildlife tells you a lot about how a forest is doing. What shows up, where it settles, how it moves. Those patterns matter.

We've placed over 500 research trail cameras and sound recorders across different forest types, from young stands to mature forests, to track birds and mammals over time.

Together with research partners, universities, government agencies, conservation groups, and some sophisticated identification software, we're building one of the most comprehensive, large scale, biodiversity monitoring programs.

The videos and recordings you'll see here largely come from that work. Others are from our forester. Together, they offer a rare, behind-the-scenes look at everyday life in the forest, capturing both familiar species and more elusive ones, helping us understand how a diversity of forest conditions supports a diversity of wildlife.

It's long-term care you can see, measure, and learn from.

Trail Cams

Biodiversity monitoring program

Trail Cams: a window into the forest.

Over 280 trail cameras are stationed across the forest, capturing deer, moose, lynx, marten, and more than a dozen other species as they pass through. The footage offers a window into places few people reach, showing us who lives here and how different forest conditions support them season to season.

Caught on Camera: Signs of a Healthy Forest

Baby Moose Early Steps

Thanks to one of our foresters in Northern Maine, we get to see a rare moment in nature. Watch until the end...you won't want to miss it!

Curious Black Bear Close Up

Black bears are known for their curiosity, and this trail cam moment in our Nova Scotia forests captured it perfectly.

When a Lynx Speaks, you Listen

This rare vocal performance was captured on a trail cam in one of our forests in Black Brook, northern New Brunswick; a truly unforgettable moment!

Small and Stealthy Lynx

Our trail cam near Saint George, New Brunswick, nearly missed this Lynx slipping through the green underbrush.

Three Moose Meander

Watch this group of moose meander along a stream close by to our forestry work in central New Brunswick.

Wood Turtle Saying Hello

We were out in the field with a researcher from the University of New Brunswick, tracking Wood Turtles. This curious female stopped by to say ‘hi’.

Bird Recorders

Biodiversity monitoring program

Sound Recorders: Name that tune.

Over 260 acoustic recorders capture bird songs across different forest types during breeding season. The recordings reveal which species are here, where they settle, and how the forest supports them. It's a way to track life in the canopy-song by song.
