Index of Subjects Good afternoon, all. It's good to be back on NatureNS after an absence of three or so years. About Palmeter Woods: I feel like the stereotypical husband who, instead of resigning himself to ask directions, tries to navigate by maps and signs. Since I now have a son with family living in Kentville, I travel there more often, and would like to visit the Palmeter Woods. My first stop was with Google Maps. It shows the "Kentville Bird Sanctuary", bounded roughly on the south by West Main Street, on the north by Brooklyn Street, and extending west pretty much to Coldbrook. But Google Maps doesn't mention Palmeter Woods. My second stop: Kentville town website. It mentions Palmeter Subdivision, south of Highway #1 and northwest of Prospect Avenue. (It's the one with Palmeter Ave, Grant St, and MacDonald Park Rd.) But no mention of Palmeter Woods. Topographical maps that I've seen don't mention it either. But the first option - the bird sanctuary - seems the one more likely to have seven bridges, since the Cornwallis River meanders through it. So I'm thinking that perhaps "Palmeter Woods" isn't an official designation, but a name that's in common use by the locals. I give up. Perhaps the ones who know where it is, and how to find it, could enlighten those of us who don't. Thanks.
