New Brunswick has 27 Wildlife Management Zones…These zones have been developed by the Department of Energy and Resource Development (ERD) to help manage:• Wildlife populations.• The harvest of deer, moose, bear and furbearers.

Zones are mapped according to different landscapes. Each includes unique features that do not change; such as climate and soils. Other features— such as the forest, land use, and wildlife itself— may change over time. When change occurs, management tactics can be altered accordingly. The result is effective wildlife management.

Zones give greater flexibility in how wildlife is managed.

Zone Maps

Wildlife Management Zones have been designed to be easily recognized by the public. Most boundaries follow roads, rivers, lakes, streams or railroads.

Some locations on individual zone maps are marked with bold letters A through N. These letters indicate areas that are shown in detail in the Appendix at the end of this booklet.

Note: All roads and railways that form zone boundaries are considered part of both adjacent zones. All zone boundaries marked by rivers, lakes or streams will follow the centre of those waterways.

Islands located on major waterways have been placed in individual zones. Details of these locations are outlined in New Brunswick’s fish and wildlife regulations. If you have any questions regarding boundaries, contact your local ERD office.

Remember: It is the responsibility of each hunter / trapper to be within legal Wildlife Management Zone boundaries.

For further information, contact your nearest ERD office
