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

Garnish has two Conservation areas, totaling 208.4 acres. Frenchman's Cove Barasway has ideal staging habitat for many waterfowl species such as Canada geese, American black duck and Common goldeneye. Shorebirds can also be seen on the beaches of the Barasway, including Red knot, which is federally and provincially listed as an endangered species. Big Hill Pond includes two ponds and a 50 meter buffer surrounding the area. Large portions of the ponds are relatively shallow, containing generous amounts of emergent vegetation, providing food and shelter for many species of wildlife.
