Project description (English)

The Three Borders linkage area includes the ‘top’ of Maine and portions of western New Brunswick and eastern Quebec. It is key to regional connectivity, linking northern Maine and the rest of the Northern Appalachians to the southwest with the extensive forests of the Gaspé Peninsula to the north and New Brunswick to the east. The St. John River forms the majority of the border between Maine and Canada in this linkage area.

Project description (French)

La zone de liaison des Trois frontières comprend le " sommet " du Maine et certaines parties de l'ouest du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l'est du Québec. C'est un partie intégrante de la connectivité régionale, reliant le nord du Maine et le reste des Appalaches du Nord au sud-ouest avec les vastes forêts de la péninsule gaspésienne au nord et du Nouveau-Brunswick à l'est. La rivière Saint-Jean constitue la plus grande partie de la frontière entre le Maine et le Canada dans cette région de liaison.
