Experiment 1 - Species abundance at Jamesville West

Friends of ours have a private beach on a pebbly/sandy spit of land amidst the Bras d'Or lakes. Its a beautiful spot that their family ancestors landed on when they arrived in Nova Scotia. I'm not surprised they decided to stay after seeing all the edible plants and appreciating the beauty of Cape Breton Island! Here are a few of the photos I've added of my species abundance survey using 50cm x 50cm quadrats for my data collection photos. Of course I saw some insects along the way and added their photos too! I cannot deny a picture of the little guys, especially when they stop for just such an occasion!
