The articl= e says: "The two projects announced in Nova Scotia, out of the 25 projects national= ly, will protect 150 hectares of old-growth forest near Long Tusket Lake, Y= armouth County and 166 hectares along the Northumberland Strait near Pugwas= h. The latter includes a large number of rare cedars. =93Both of these mature forests provide valuable wildlife habitat,=94 said = Craig Smith, program director for the Nature Conservancy of Canada in Nova = Scotia. NCC said the Canadian projects will protect 50 kilometres of rivers and str= eams and provide habitat for 63 species at risk including grizzly bear, cer= ulean warbler, spring salamander, limber pine and Kentucky coffee tree." The final line quoted refers to the 25 projects nationally that were mentio= ned in the first sentence of the excerpt. I don't see any literacy problems= in reading it....

If there were Ceruleans recorded in any for= est in Nova Scotia, the site needs to be protected! They are a very rare so= ngbird for our region, and a species assessed as vulnerable.
