Brier Island is one of the most recognized and important bird areas in the Maritimes, the diversity of birds that can be seen there is amazing.

Brier Island also has a large number of rare and common plant varieties such as the endangered Eastern Mountain Avens. Other plants include Bluebead Lily, Pink Ladyslipper, Fireweed, Yellow Iris, Shrubby Cinquefoil and Pitcher Plant. A big portion of Brier island is a nature preserve administered by the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
