Index of Subjects --0015174c43ce1d05c9048c12c547 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I was on a Dal field trip to a bog at Duncans Cove with Pierre Taschereau about 30 years ago, and he showed us a Dwarf Birch growing on a flat boulder along the trail. This trail is to the South of Duncans Cove, in behind what is now the Whalesback house, built on an old WWII observation post. The trail meanders inland from Whalesback, to a large bog. I haven't been there in a decade though.
