Hi All, Nov 18, 2010
The term coastal plain species refers to the floral element =
(southern or northern) that migrated to NS along the vegetated sands, =
gravels & muds that were exposed by low sea levels in early stages of =
the last post-glacial period. Except for a few highly mobile species, =
most remained stuck in SW NS.
Does Cumberland have any true coastal plain species and if so why, =
having had to march overland, would these be associated with lakes ? I =
suspect the term 'coastal plain species', in this contest is being used =
incorrectly.=20
Biological inventory can never be complete but, in the time =
available (about 6 months over 2 summers as I recall), the late Wilf =
Schofield did a remarkable job of expanding the floral distributions of =
Cumberland & Colchester Counties.=20
If some area is protected, it might be a thought to include his name =
in the title.

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!
