NS Wild Flora Society Meeting
Date: Monday , November 22, 2010
Location: NS Musuem of Natural History, Summer St. Halifax, in the =
auditorium.
Time: 7:30 p.m.

If you study a topographical map or photo of Nova Scotia you may notice =
that although there are many lakes dotted around the southern counties, =
there are very few lakes of any size in the northern counties.  =
Historically these northern lakes were not well studied by the botanical =
community; and thus Nova Scotia's Northumberland coastal plain species =
was not well defined and so far, there is no protected area in this =
landscape.  Angevine Lake is the largest lake in Cumberland county and =
the closest to the strait. A portion of the land bordering the lake =
supports cottage development but most is owned by the province and a =
local lumber company.  Because of recent findings in, on, around and =
near the lake (botanical, animal and insect) the area has been defined =
as "Tier 1" (first priority for future protection).  Mary Macaulay has a =
cottage at the lake and has helped find some of the interesting and =
unusual species there.  She will bring some slides of the flora and show =
the group the locations of these on an aerial photo.  Some of these =
species include ram's head lady slipper, hepatica, blue cohosh, and =
black ash.  She also has some slides that are "unknown" and hopes the =
Wild Flora group will help her with these.

All are welcome!
