The Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Advisory Council (WERAC) is pleased to bring forward the proposal A Home for Nature: Protected Area Plan for the Island of Newfoundland to the public for comment. WERAC is a legislated, volunteer, independent advisory body appointed by the Provincial Government to advise on the establishment and management of our province’s wilderness and ecological reserves.
The document A Home for Nature is a blueprint for developing a collection or system of protected areas for the Island of Newfoundland. Provincial protected area planning for Labrador will follow and will be specific to the unique geography of Labrador. The release of this Plan for the Island of Newfoundland provides the first opportunity for the public to provide input on the Plan.
