Index of Subjects Once you’ve got your photo(s), it might be good to post once now and then again much nearer to the date. So many posts mean they get lost and forgotten easily. Or maybe do a pinned post for the last week(?). You’d need to ask Admin that. A good idea all round to get SW NS folks active with the NSBS, especially if such long travel distances were a deterrent.

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.

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. >> >
