  8. Vegetation • The Parks forests are a mix of several types of vegetation, the main types being red spruce, balsam fir, yellow birch, white birch and maples. • The forest floor is also covered with carpets of moss, wood fern and bunchberry which is very common.

  9. Climate • The summers in the park are cool and the winters mild. The average summer temperature is about 22 C° in the park interior, however it can be up to 6 C° cooler on the same day on the nearby coast.

  10. History • European settlement began in the Fundy area around 1825. • Acadians had arrived in the 1600s. The land and climate was not very inviting, rocky, acidic soils with cool summers and harsh winters made it hard to live off the land. • Many immigrants received land grants on the highlands where conditions were not good for farming, and many abandoned their land within a generation. • This area was chosen as New Brunswick's first national park, in 1948, both to stimulate the economy and to preserve the area's natural beauty. • Fundy National Park was proclaimed in the Canada Gazette on April 10, 1948, and the Honorable James Allison Glen was the minister responsible.
