Mary Macaulay is a longstanding member and researcher who will present a continuation of her Eco-Archaeological research on Nova Scotia “Crown” Lands, which are up for deforestation – as shown targeted by the online Harvest Plan Map Viewer. Mary has been doing this work since 2019 and has expanded her project area to include patterns observed throughout the region, including the South Shore.
Members who have not viewed Mary’s first two presentations on the NSWFS You-Tube site will benefit by watching those two talks before this one; Rediscovering the Sacred and Salvage Eco-Archaeology in Nova Scotia – or viewing as a refresher since it’s been a couple of years since Mary has given us an update.
This new talk will focus less on culturally modified trees and LIDAR sets and more on a selection of common native understory plants and the cultural landscape features they appear to signify.
