Subject: [BNS] Milkweed Survey Field Trip - Saturday
To: BNS@nature1st.net
Hi all,
This is a reminder the field trip this Saturday the 31st at 10am
I have put up some information in preparation for the field trip. Go to
the website: http://nw.nature1st.net
In the post on the front page is a post "Milkweed Growth Locations" and
there are links to two pages
One page has information what is know of Common milkweed in the Valley.
The second page provides forms and maps to help do the survey along with
contact information. (The maps and forms are pdfs for printing)
On Saturday, we will meet at my home at 6539 Brooklyn Street (north of
Cambridge Station). Here you will see some
Common milkweed. At this time of the year, milkweed has died down but
it's stalks are quite robust and the seed pods tend to stay on that stalk.
So it is still
possible to identify where Common milkweed is growing. James Churchill and
I will tell you what we are looking for and provide the forms and maps for
the process.
From here we divide up and cover different areas of the region to add to
our census of Milkweed plots.
If you want to collect seeds to try to grow milkweed, there are many pods
with mature seeds in them. We can also dig
up roots in my field to transplant for next year's growth.
If you can not make the meeting on Saturday but would like to be involved
and/or have discovered milkweed location, please contact me at
larry@bogan.ca or info@nw.nature1st.net

ders:
Larry Bogan, James Churchill. Milkweed is a vital resource for many of Nova
Scotia=E2=80=99s butterflies, a number of which are Species of conservation=
concern
like Monarchs and Hairstreaks. To get a better picture of the distribution
of Milkweed, this simple citizen science initiative will involve roadside
and trailside mapping of Milkweed patches in Kings county. Yes, most
butterflies will be gone, but milkweed should still be visible at this time
of year. Similar to Christmas Bird counts, we will assign sections to
participants. If you have a patch you would like to report or a section you
would like to map (on October 31st or any other time of year) please let us
know. Otherwise, meet us at the Bogans=E2=80=99 Monarch Waystation (6539 Br=
ooklyn
Street, Brooklyn Corner) at 10 a.m.
