Gros Morne National Park is famous the world over, and there could -- in the future -- be even more of it to love. Parks Canada is looking at the idea of expanding the park boundary northward, to just north of Daniel's Harbour.The Park has met with several communities in the area about the proposal, including with Daniel's Harbour Ross Humber.

At first glance, you might think that there's no shortage of trees in Gros Morne National Park. But there's actually been a decline in their numbers over the past few decades - largely because of over-grazing by moose. Now, the park is on a mission to plant hundreds of thousands of new trees. The CBC's Sanuda Ranawake was in Gros Morne last Thursday.

On Monday we heard concerns about a trail closure in Gros Morne National Park. The Wallace Brook sections of trail were closed several years ago when the Green Gardens trail was re-routed. Green Gardens trail is between Woody Point and Trout River. But experienced hikers have still used the old trail, which had experienced erosion and had not been repaired. Recently, Parks Canada issued a notice that people will face a fine if they trespass on the closed trail or on 30 metres on either side of it. On Monday, local resident and tourism operator Becky O'Keefe said she is worried that the same thing could happen to other trails. For reaction, we contacted Rob Hingston, visitor experience product development officer at Gros Morne National Park.

If you're looking for somewhere to hike in Gros Morne, Parks Canada can tell you one place NOT to go. The national park announced earlier this month that part of the old Green Gardens trail is not only re-routed, it's closed and off-limits. In fact, the park says there's a 150-dollar fine for trespassing on the Wallace Brook section of trail. That doesn't sit well with experienced hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts, and they worry they could be banned from more trails in the future. Becky O'Keefe is a long-time resident of Bonne Bay, a tourism operator, and a volunteer with the Gros Morne Hiking Festival.

The federal government is spending 1.7 million dollars to help a marine conservation group based in the Gros Morne region. Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative, also known as AHOI, is a non-profit group that does work in Western Newfoundland to protect the health of oceans. It will use the new federal money to expand its programs. Long Range Mountains MP Gudie Hutchings announced the money on Friday in Norris Point, and the CBC's Sanuda Ranawake was there.

Megan Gail Coles, a playwright from Savage Cove, is gearing up for the production of "Our Eliza" at the Gros Morne Theatre Festival. It's a moving tribute to the resilient women of the Great Northern Peninsula and the sacrifices they made for their families. The production runs from August 15th to the 24th at the Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's Nurse Myra Bennett Centre for the Performing Arts in Cow Head. Martin Jones spoke with Coles about the story and what it means to her to bring it to the stage.

This province really is a paradise for hikers. No matter where you go, you'll find trails that range in level of difficulty, from beginner to advanced. In Gros Morne, volunteers are once again highlighting that area as a destination for hikers. And they're giving people a chance this fall to experience some longer hikes with a group and a guide. Registration is open now for the Gros Morne Hiking Festival. Becky O'Keefe is a volunteer with the event.

Hear about travel to Newfoundland and Labrador as the Amateur Traveler talks to Bri Mitchell from travelingmitch.com based on the summer they spent in this less visited Canadian province. Why should you go to Newfoundland and Labrador? Bri says, "It is a very vast, wide, and open province. It has extremely warm people very enticing outdoor adventures really incredible opportunities to get out onto the water and explore different parts of the Atlantic Ocean. And specifically today, I want to talk a little bit about Western Newfoundland and Labrador, so starting in the western coast and making your way up towards Labrador." "It's larger than many countries. I think I was looking up It's a square kilometer area, and it's larger than Japan, Germany, and Finland. A lot of people think of Eastern Canada as being small and little towns and not a lot to explore. But when you think about its size, Newfoundland and Labrador as a province is very expansive. So it's a great place to go if you enjoy a road trip if you enjoy taking in nature. Many kilometers in a day, which this trip will entail and it's just a really wonderful place to get outside and really embrace nature." Bri recommends a comprehensive seven-day itinerary for exploring Newfoundland and Labrador, focusing primarily on Western Newfoundland and briefly touching upon Labrador. Here's the itinerary she suggests: Day 1: Arrival at Deer Lake Fly into Deer Lake Regional Airport, rent a car, and drive to Gros Morne National Park. Stay in Woody Point, a small town in Gros Morne, and dine at local restaurants like the Backroom Cafe or Merchant Warehouse. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-newfoundland-and-labrador/ Learn more about your ad choices.

A day at the beach in this province often means a chance to come across at least some type of garbage, either tossed there by someone, or washed up by the waves. In Gros Morne, once again this summer, the Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative had some summer students cleaning up, and keeping track of what they found. Rebecca Brushett is executive director of the Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative, and Bernice spoke with her on location in Norris Point. She joins me bright and early this morning here at the cottage hospital.

A group of artists have taken up residency at the Bonne Bay Marine Station in Norris point. They're taking part in the Gros Morne Puppetry Workshop and Residency, an intensive and inspiring ten-day experience.

Proof of a lost ocean, tectonic plates, and oceanic crust....Gros Morne National Park is at the top of many visitors' must-see lists. But as far as geology goes, Gros Morne still holds unexplored secrets. A group of geologists was in the area last week for a closer look. Jean Bédard of the Geological Survey of Canada was one of them.

A new exhibit on display at Parks Canada's Discovery Centre in Woody Point reflects the history and culture of Miawpukek First Nation. The exhibit contains artifacts, crafts, texts and photographs. Artist Pam Hall came up with the idea while working on her series, the Encyclopedia of Local Knowledge, but she knew right away it would take a "village" to make it happen. CBC's James Grudic spoke with the artists behind the project.

When many of us see trash on the roadside or the beach, we think, "someone should do something about that." A bunch of caring people in the Gros Morne region have chosen to be those "someones." The Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative - "AHOI," for short - is organizing the task of cleaning trash from the beaches. Rebecca Brushett is the group's founder.

This province has put a lot of time, effort, and money into having a modern waste management system. But how much better off are we and our environment? A report out of the Gros Morne region last week talked about a lack of transparency and enforcement when it comes to recycling and other aspects of waste management. Provincial environment minister Bernard Davis comments on its findings.

Many of us open a can of tuna or empty a salad dressing bottle, then rinse them out and put them in our blue recycling bag. But what actually happens to all of those cans and bottles? A new report out of the Gros Morne region says the lack of transparency about how waste management works may be affecting people's participation in recycling. The document was prepared by Atlantic Healthy Oceans Initiative, or AHOI. Jackie Bauman is senior plastics program coordinator.

The provincial government is looking for someone to start up a commercial timber development on the Northern Peninsula. It put out a Request for Proposals earlier this month for timber in Forest Management District 17. That's the area that starts at the northern boundary of Gros Morne and extends nearly to Plum Point.

Most of us like to think we're doing our bit for the environment, but so much "stuff" still ends up in landfills. The idea of a "circular economy," in which there's no such thing as waste, is being explored during a Plastic Waste Reduction Summit this week in Gros Morne. Bernice Hillier spoke with two of the leaders.

Für Kanadier heißt Neufundland nur „The Rock“. Im äußersten Osten Kanadas liegt der große Felsen und trotzt mit den Menschen, die ihn bewohnen, dem rauen Wetter und den Wellen des Atlantiks. Hier liegt der Gros Morne Nationalpark. Die unmessbaren Kabeljauvorkommen, die schon die Wikinger nach Neufundland lockten, wurden von der industriellen Fischerei fast völlig ausgerottet. Der Fischer Fred Snow ist einer der wenigen, die noch nach alter Methode fischen. Doch seine Zukunft ist ungewiss. (Online-Signatur Medienzentren: 49800700)
