Hi David - the etymology is not mine. It is used by Parks Canada and others=
 see http://www.pc.gc.ca/apprendre-learn/prof/itm2-crp-trc/htm/ecozone_e.as=
p for example.
I fully agree about Schofield!

Hi All=2C                        Nov 18=2C 2010
    The term coastal plain species refers to the floral element (southern o=
r northern) that migrated to NS along the vegetated sands=2C gravels & muds=
 that were exposed by low sea levels in early stages of the last post-glaci=
al period. Except for a few highly mobile species=2C most remained stuck in=
 SW NS.

    Does Cumberland have any true coastal plain species and if so why=2C ha=
ving had to march overland=2C would these be associated with lakes ? I susp=
ect the term 'coastal plain species'=2C in this contest is being used incor=
rectly.=20
=20
    Biological inventory can never be complete but=2C in the time available=
 (about 6 months over 2 summers as I recall)=2C the late Wilf Schofield did=
 a remarkable job of expanding the floral distributions of Cumberland & Col=
chester Counties.=20
=20
    If some area is protected=2C it might be a thought to include his name =
in the title.

NS Wild Flora Society Meeting
Date: Monday =2C November 22=2C 2010
Location: NS Musuem of Natural History=2C Summer St. Halifax=2C in the audi=
torium.
Time: 7:30 p.m.

If you study a topographical map or photo of Nova Scotia you may notice tha=
t although there are many lakes dotted around the southern counties=2C ther=
e are very few lakes of any size in the northern counties.  Historically th=
ese northern lakes were not well studied by the botanical community=3B and =
thus Nova Scotia's Northumberland coastal plain species was not well define=
d and so far=2C there is no protected area in this landscape.  Angevine Lak=
e is the largest lake in Cumberland county and the closest to the strait. A=
 portion of the land bordering the lake supports cottage development but mo=
st is owned by the province and a local lumber company.  Because of recent =
findings in=2C on=2C around and near the lake (botanical=2C animal and inse=
ct) the area has been defined as "Tier 1" (first priority for future protec=
tion).  Mary Macaulay has a cottage at the lake and has helped find some of=
 the interesting and unusual species there.  She will bring some slides of =
the flora and show the group the locations of these on an aerial photo.  So=
me of these species include ram's head lady slipper=2C hepatica=2C blue coh=
osh=2C and black ash.  She also has some slides that are "unknown" and hope=
s the Wild Flora group will help her with these.

All are welcome!
