Red Belly Snake






















The Bog Forrest
Much of the surface of Nova Scotia has a layer of slate about one to five meters below the surface. This causes water to drain slowly. Over time, a layer of swampy peat accumulates. This is an ideal environment for many mosses, lichens, ferns and a wide variety of amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
