Time: 7:30 p.m. =20 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. =20 All are welcome! www.nswildflora.ca No virus found in this incoming message.
