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

Centreville-Wareham-Trinity (CWT) is located within the North Shore Forest Ecoregion and the Northcentral Subregion of the Central Newfoundland Forest. CWT contains important wildlife habitat within the town’s planning area. There are extensive nesting, feeding and staging habitats for ducks like American Black Duck (Anas rubripes), Green-winged Teal (Anas carolinensis), and other water birds. There are also birds of the Boreal forest and wetlands such as White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis), Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca), Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis), and American Robin (Turdus migratorius). CWT is also home to vulnerable bird species like the Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus), Grey-cheeked Thrush (Catharus minimus), and Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus).

​

CWT has designated 3 Conservation Areas (CAs) within their municipal planning boundaries, totaling 5,423 acres of conserved wildlife habitat: Northwest Pond Watershed, Black's Brook, and Southwest Feeder Ponds. These CAs consist of a mix of ponds, streams, wetlands, and forested areas; they are moderately hilly, with domed bogs in low-lying areas, and dominated by three freshwater lakes and their rivers systems. The upland areas are dominated by black spruce, white spruce, and balsam fir, with larch, birch, and aspen interspersed throughout.
