You may think that big industry and an environment group teaming up is pipe dream but that's a reality for Saint John Industrial Parks Limited.
It's teaming up with consulting firm Boreal Environment to document all ecologically sensitive areas in the Spruce Lake Industrial Park in order to prevent future development from harming watercourses and rare habitat.
The General Manager of Saint John Industrial Parks Brian Irving tells CHSJ News they want to prove that they're serious about protecting the environment and that you can still turn a buck while being environmentally conscious.
Irving goes on to say Saint John benefits a lot from protected wet lands and waterways as they prevent flooding.
