Index of Subjects Thanks Dusan. I've sent a query to Ducks unlimited about the 3 largest wetlands. They will get back to me and I'll update the list.

They have constructed a number of canals there, of different dimensions. The idea is to increase the numbers of waterfowl being produced at these marshes by increasing the patchiness of the duck habitat. Some of these canals look brand new. They own a very impressive floating dredge, used both to construct an maintain these canals. > Google Missaguash River and see whether these canals look like the canals at Wallace and Pugwash. BTW, great canoeing and lots of wildlife along these canals, but very few campsites! > Dusan Soudek > > > > On August 19, 2014 at 7:31 AM Mary Macaulay <Marymacaulay@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > > > > This summer I've been exploring some very interesting wetlands between the Wallace and Pugwash rivers. If you do a satellite view google maps you can see at least 4 of them have been significantly canalled. Remarkably so. One has huge parallel canals. Are these preacadian? The native people in this area were known for trading duck potato. Did they farm it? > > > > With kindest regards > > Mary (Macaulay) > > marymacaulay@hotmail.com > > @maryemacaulay > >
