Description
Of the 470 or so plant and animal species observed in Nova Scotia, more than 350 of those have been seen on Brier Island.
The rich wetland habitats on Brier Island also offer an incredible amount of plant diversity, including more than 20 species of orchid and Michaux’s dwarf birch. Brier Island’s peat bogs are home to 95 per cent of the entire Canadian population of eastern mountain avens – one of only two regions in the world where this rare flowering plant can be found.
