@PauletteSteeves SO true. Been doing archeoecology fieldwork in Nova Scotia on "Crown" Land a couple years. Now using LIDAR to help interpret. Check out monumental Thunderbird Effigy Mound up for clearcut. Red circle has head and beak. Blue is body. Scale bottom left corner. Trail trees eveywhere
Yes, evidence abounds that L'nuk elders were actively remapping sacred landscapes with trail trees up until almost the turn of the century here in Mi'kma'ki. 💔Respect💔 @Netukulimk @Mel7Labrador @inaturalist @RememberTata https://t.co/t3C8gnrJCX
Our friends at @ByondPesticides raise an alarm that "EPA appears to discount threats like the insect apocalypse, evidenced by a 75% decline in insect abundance": https://t.co/de0JkPzG2f @InsectRecovery@Pollinators
Interested in how to identify and follow trail trees? Check out this talk I gave recently to the NS Wild Flora Society. "Rediscovering the Sacred" https://t.co/HTpSs2YLTl via @YouTube

Yesterday the Minister of Env introduced a Bill to modernize the Act which regulates the most toxic chemicals in Canada along with plastics and #GMOs.

@RememberTata Endangered Mainland Moose trying to get from huge wetland fen down a trail to a Lake for a drink, are being blocked by deforestry operations :(
"This is an entirely new way that cells in the brain can communicate with one another that has never before been integrated into how we think about health and disease. It opens up a lot of exciting avenues," says @ScrippsResearch's Dr. Hollis Cline. 🧠 https://t.co/S8cQewxlUa
The Marbled Fritillary (braamparelmoervlinder, Brenthis daphne) has massively expanded northwards in Europe, also now reaching the SE of NL. This is a typical example of a climate opportunist, who will probably move north further. #januarivlindermaand

So - endangered Mainland Moose are at new cutblock at Mitchell Lake. Moose Alert form is here https://t.co/cc547Ab0Uv Stora is already cutting at the Lake using an earlier permit. Burial Mounds on the current block deliberately recently bulldozed. RCMP on the case.
@RememberTata@FungiwithBengi Watch the second half of this talk about forest finds in cutblocks too if you can - explains simply the complicated ongoing cultural genocide and ecocide still happening here in Mi'kma'ki. https://t.co/a4hs1mg8JQ #trailtrees#burialMounds#Acadians#Mikmaki
