This book was released on 1994 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview of the environment of the Atlantic Provinces at a particular time. The report identifies problem areas, describes important conditions and trends, and outlines the direction in which the region is headed environmentally. The central theme of the report is the relationship between human activities and environmental quality, human health, and the economy. The concept of sustainability is explored, both in terms of ecosystem sustainability, and the long-term sustainability of the current use of the environment and its resources. The report describes the environmental resource base, including ecozones, demographics, air, water, land, and wildlife; the stresses, including acid rain, dioxins and furans, wildlife and fish habitat, and environmental impact assessment; and a diagnosis for sustained use of air, water, land, special places and species, and energy. A glossary is included.

Book excerpt: This book enables easy identification of every tree and shrub common to the Maritimes. It includes detailed visuals showing tree shape, leaf shape and colour, seed and cone size and bark texture. With illustrations and key ID features, a tree can be identified in any season of the year. Using this book, everyone can get acquainted with the trees and shrubs in their backyards and neighbourhoods. The visuals inspire wonder at the beauty and complexity of the world of trees. Author and illustrator Jeffrey C. Domm spent many weeks tracking down examples of each tree to create illustrations that go far beyond anything seen in common tree guides with detail and clarity. Featured trees include: spruce, pine, cedar, birch, maple, oak, ash, beech, elm, aspen, willow and poplar, as well as the boreal species of spruce, pine, tamarack and fir. The shrubs include dogwood, cranberry, sumac, elderberry and pussy willow. A section on heritage species includes details of the oldest red spruce in the world, found in Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, as well as the largest surviving American chestnut tree in the world, found near Halifax.
Download or read book Nature Place and Story written by Claire Elizabeth Campbell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National historic sites commemorate decisive moments in the making of Canada. But seen through an environmental lens, these sites become artifacts of a bigger story: the occupation and transformation of nature into nation. In an age of pressing discussions about environmental sustainability, there is a growing need to know more about the history of our relationship with the natural world and what lessons these places of public history, regional identity, and national narrative can teach us. Nature, Place, and Story provides new interpretations for five of Canada’s largest and most iconic historic sites (two of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites): L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland; Grand Pré, Nova Scotia; Fort William, Ontario; the Forks of the Red River, Manitoba; and the Bar U Ranch, Alberta. At each location, Claire Campbell rewrites public history as environmental history, revealing the country’s debt to the power and fragility of the natural world, and the relevance of the past to understanding climate change, agricultural sustainability, wilderness protection, urban reclamation, and fossil fuel extraction. From the medieval Atlantic to modern ranchlands, environmental history speaks directly to contemporary questions about the health of Canada’s habitat. Bringing together public and environmental history in an entirely new way, Nature, Place, and Story is a lively and ambitious call for a fresh perspective on natural heritage.

Book excerpt: Thousands of children attended summer camps in twentieth-century Ontario. Did parents simply want a break, or were broader developments at play? The Nurture of Nature explores how competing cultural tendencies � antimodern nostalgia and modern sensibilities about the landscape, child rearing, and identity � shaped the development of summer camps and, consequently, modern social life in North America. A valuable resource for those interested in the connections between the history of childhood, the natural environment, and recreation, The Nature of Nurture will also appeal to anyone who has been packed off to camp and wants to explore why.
Download or read book America s National Heritage Areas written by Robert Manning and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are fifty-five National Heritage Areas scattered across the US and they continue to grow in number and diversity. Though they’re not officially national parks, their conservation, education, and recreation related objectives echo those of the national parks: to conserve nationally significant natural and cultural landscapes and to make them available to the public for purposes of education, recreation, and sustainable tourism-related economic development. But the methods of achieving these objectives are different—very different—than those used in the national parks. While both national parks and NHAs are established by Congress, national parks are conventionally large areas of public land that are owned and managed by the National Park Service (NPS). NHAs take a more inclusive, partnership-based approach to their work; they offer local citizens, government at all levels, non-profit organizations, and private sector enterprises the opportunity to define, celebrate and conserve the natural, historic, cultural, scenic and recreational resources that have been vital in shaping their identity and destiny. NHAs are composed primarily of private lands; they’re living landscapes where participants reside, work and play. Each chapter in this guidebook describes the remarkable natural and cultural resources that define NHAs and highlights nearby visitor attractions, enticing readers to visit NHAs and to enjoy and appreciate the attractions offered.
