Blanche Island and Blanche Peninsula
Note the directions below have been updated.
The NSWFS is planning a field trip to the Blanche Peninsula ( Cape Negro island included). This is a potential new purchase for Nature Trust NS.
A Burrowing owl has been reported in the area; plan is to search and photo if possible: also preliminary exploration of area for plants.
About 3hrs from Halifax. Take hwy 103 to route 309 to exit 28 at Clyde River. Follow 309 to Port Clyde, cross the bridge there and continue south on 309 through Thomasville and Cape Negro (now known as Cape Eel). Blanche Road is on your left (south). Eric suggests we meet there as a group and then proceed south to Blanche which is about another 8 km from the turnoff.
Charles will be leading the trip. He says he has not been there before and does not know the road conditions, but Eric Mills is familiar with the area and will assist us. This will be real exploration. About 4-6 Hrs. then return to Halifax.
I am looking for volunteers from NSWFS to help explore the area.
Maybe a report to Nature Trust with photos.
Please call me to register in case of cancelation etc. 902 477 8272 or 902 430-4785 cell . Weather looks good sun/cloud both days.
