Hi All
Here is a head-up on a special presentation to the Pictou Co Naturalists on
Tues May 2, 6:30 pm at the community room of the New Glasgow Library. In a
presentation titled Rehabilitation of the Appalachian Deciduous Forest,
plant ecologist Nick Hill will focus on hardwood floodplains and the rare
plants in this ecosystem. He will demonstrate how rehabilitation along
rivers provides many benefits besides preserving the diversity of special
plants that can thrive there. Nick is well known ecologist living in
Berwick, NS and working with the Fern Hill Institute for Plant Conservation.
Here Nick conducts wetland courses and does conservation research and
long-term monitoring projects. Some of these include the globally rare
Mountain Avens in the Big Bog, Brier I and restoration of Victoria Park in
Truro. Nick has a special interest in our local Kemptown floodplain and this
is but one of a number of these special places in and near Pictou County.
Below is a summary of the talk. Everyone welcome.
Nova Scotia was a mosaic of different forest associations that reflected
differences in rock, soil, climate and First Nations management. While a
large portion of the landscape was covered with Red Spruce, the Atlantic
coastline was boreal with Black and White Spruce, and well-drained uplands
of Cape Breton and the Cobequids and fertile floodplains were hardwood
associations. These hardwoods are northern extensions of the Appalachian
Deciduous Forest and they change with climate change. The fertile
floodplain portion of this Forest contains various rare elements and
floodplain rehabilitation at a provincial level should be part of a
continental plan to facilitate and conserve biodiversity as species
distributions change and adapt to new habitats. At a local level, forest
rehabilitation along rivers has the added benefits of mitigating flooding,
improving water quality and wildlife habitat, and stimulating recreation
opportunities.
Cheers
