Hi all
Please join us for the next presentation of the Pictou Co. Naturalist's =
Club , Tues. Dec. 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the program room of the New Glasgow =
Library. Our guest presenter will be Jason LeBlanc who will speak on =
Aquatic Invasive Species in NS. This should be a very interesting =
presentation. Below is an outline of Jason's talk and some info on Jason =
who lives locally in Pictou Co. Come on out and show support for the =
speaker and learn some great timely information.=20
Title: An Overview of Aquatic Invasive Species in Nova Scotia

 Invasive species are thought to be the most serious threat to global =
biodiversity next to habitat loss. Nova Scotia has a long history of =
invasive species and well documented impacts in both aquatic and =
terrestrial habitats. This talk will focus on freshwater and marine =
invaders,  discuss their impacts and options for managing them.  Local =
examples of aquatic invasive species include Smallmouth Bass, Chain =
Pickerel, European Green Crab and Oyster Thief.=20

 Jason LeBlanc is a fisheries biologist with the Nova Scotia Department =
of Fisheries and Aquaculture.  He studied fish ecology and biogeography =
at St. FX and works on resource management and invasive species issues =
provincially and nationally.=20

 I am hoping to have on hand a number of 2013 Cobequid Wildlife =
Rehabilitation Centre calendars that I have offered to sell for Helene =
van Doninck who spoke to our group earlier this fall. So bring along a =
few $ to buy one- great Christmas stocking stuffer as well as proceeds =
for a very worthwhile centre.=20


Christmas Bird Count season will soon be upon us and here are dates of =
some nearby counts as well as contact info on compilers. Feeders =
watchers and field observers welcome. Contact compilers for more info.=20
