Botanicals, Bats and Bob
Today’s activities included a census of trees in ten more forest sectors. Each sector measured ten meters by ten meters. The height and circumference of each tree over 60 centimeters meters was recorded. Six researchers worked at this for three hours. The dominant species were the coniferous trees. This included; varieties of spruce, hemlock, tamarack, and firs. There were lesser amounts of; birch, maples and beech.
The other half of the team mounted bat houses and would later visit Risser’s beach to search for bats using an echo location translator. Risser’s beach is a Provincial waterfront shoreline forest (“State Park”). It is a site of research on the endangered Atlantic White Fish.
