--000000000000c678c4057532a37c Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello naturalists, I know many of you are aware that Brier Island is a natural jewel of Canada, a boreal basaltic island kept cool by marine upwelling. It has more than the whales. Lance Andree and Ron keep the bird-banding station operational in August and will be finishing up in September. Also in September, this coming Saturday the 8th, we celebrate the operning of the Boardwalk Phase 1 into the hydrologically-restored Big Meadow Bog. This project was called for by the Recovery Team of the Endangered Eastern Mountain Avens because that species' principal habitat, the Meadow, had been ditched 60 years ago with profound and bad ramifications for the survival of the Avens..woody growth had seized the bog and thousands of nesting Herring Gulls fueled rank weeds, both of which were ousting and outcompeting this Globally Imperilled plant. So if you would like to come on Saturday the 8th and be part of this, please come for the run or walk (10K each..at 10 and 9 am respectively) that you may hear advertized on CBC, or come for the ceremony at 1:15. Afterwards we can have a bog walk to see one of Canada's rarest species. Thanks Nick ferries are sequential and hourly and you will need to be passing by Digby at ten to the hour so as be on time in East Ferry (leaves for Long Island at half past each hour). -- Dr. N.M.Hill Fern Hill Institute of Plant Conservation 424 Bentley Road, Berwick, NS, B0P 1E0 phone 902-698-0416 --000000000000c678c4057532a37c Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-size:large">Hel= lo naturalists,</div><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-size:large"= ><br></div><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"font-size:large">I know ma= ny of you are aware that Brier Island is a natural jewel of Canada, a borea= l basaltic island kept cool by marine upwelling.
