The first meeting will be held on September 25that the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives, 22 Collins Street, in Yarmouth at 7:00 PM. I’m also very happy to say that our first speaker will be Donna Crossland. The title of her talk is “Habitat: The forgotten requirement for birds and forest management in Nova Scotia.” I hope that many NatureNS subscribers in Digby, Yarmouth, and Shelburne Counties will attend our inaugural meeting. I’m adding a copy of a brief press release below. Please feel free to cut and paste any of this material to use in your local papers or social media communications. > Thanks! > John > > The Nova Scotia Bird Society is forming a Southwest Chapter. “The increasing membership of the Society in Yarmouth, Digby, and Shelburne Counties has created a desire for a new hub of birding opportunities in the province,” says Dave Currie, President of the Nova Scotia Bird Society. “We plan to have regular meetings on a variety of topics related to birdwatching and bird conservation in the area. Eventually we will have field trips for both beginners and experienced birders. We especially hope to offer programs for youth to help mentor their interest and skills in nature activities.” > > Southwest Nova Scotia is known as a hotspot for rare birds featuring premier birding locations such as Brier Island, Cape Forchu, and Cape Sable Island. > > The first meeting of the Southwest Chapter of the Nova Scotia Bird Society will be held on September 25th at the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives, 22 Collins Street, in Yarmouth at 7:00 PM. The guest speaker will be Donna Crossland who will talk on “Habitat: The forgotten requirement for birds and forest management in Nova Scotia.” Donna works at Kejimkujik National Park & National Historic Site as a “Resource Management Officer”. Her work entails conducting forest songbird surveys, loon monitoring, vegetation management with a focus on managing a beech restoration seed orchard, and managing invasive species such as Glossy Buckthorn and the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. > > The local contact for the Southwest Chapter is John Kearney who can be reached at j.f.kearney@gmail.com. >
