April 3rd first AL bioblitz of 2022!
Join the St Mary’s River Association on a hike-in Bioblitz at Archibald Lake!
We are going to go twice this spring, to see the variety of species as they emerge from winter rest. Join us for either or both, 11am on April 3rd, and 1pm on May 22nd.
This Bioblitz will take place at Archibald Lake, a unique natural beauty within the St Mary’s River Watershed. At least 300 hectares surrounding the lake is old hardwood forest on drumlin terrain, with mature softwood on the flats. This crown land forest provides outstanding habitat for a highly biodiverse network of species. It is home to the mainland moose population, as well as the endangered wood turtle, and some interesting and vulnerable species of lichen.
Directions: The trailhead is 5km in off Indian River Rd (3.8km from Melrose-Country Harbour Rd, east of 7). https://goo.gl/maps/rUVtgWjEsKi1Lm6U8
Take your time on Indian River Rd, the winter has been cruel to that road!
We hope to see you there!
Liz and Edwin
Please reach out if you have any questions and come prepared for the mud and the bugs!
