The camp was established for young, unemployed men and operated in the area that is currently the Ingonish Beach Campground. At the summit there was once a fire tower, but it blew down in 1950 in 160 km/hr winds. A shorter tower was built and it served the area until forest fire duties were taken over by the province of Nova Scotia. The tower was removed by Parks Canada in 1999.

Tallman J.A. Marcotte H.E. Plint K.A. Connors 1987 GEOLOGY OF THE WEST-CENTRAL CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS, NOVA SCOTIA Abstract Mapping of metavolcanic, metasedimentary, and metaplutonic rocks in the vicinity of the Northeast Margaree River, west-central Cape Breton Highlands, has been carried out on 1:10 000 and 1:25 000 scales. The Jumping Brook metamorphic suite (redefined) consists of a lower unit of metabasalts and associated pyroclastic and sedimentary rocks (Faribault Brook metavolcanics), overlain by quartz-rich sedimentary rocks with local conglomerate and tuff (Barren Brook schist), and semi-pelitic to psammitic schists (Dauphinee Brook schist), which grade into porphyroblastic schists ranging up to staurolite-kyanite grade (Corney Brook schist). Medium grained amphibolite (George Brook amphibolite) with relict dioritic texture is common in the sequence and probably represents synvolcanic intrusions.

Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer John Sylliboy, MEKS Traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Craig Hodder, Author Jason Googoo, Manager Green Cove MEKS Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as an MEKS or a Traditional Ecological Knowledge Study (TEKS), was developed by Membertou Geomatics Solutions (MGS) for Parks Canada for the proposed Never Forgotten National Memorial Complex (NFNMC) Project. This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas which the proposed project will utilize, and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS. The Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study consisted of two major components: • Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities , both past and present, • A Mi’kmaq Significance Species Analysis , considering the resources that are important to Mi’kmaq use. The Mi’kmaq Traditional Land and Resource Use Activities component utilized interviews as the key source of information regarding Mi’kmaq use in the Project Site and Study Area.

  • 210 Cape Breton Highlands Profile
    A NOVA SCOTIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLICATION Ecodistrict Profile Ecological Landscape Analysis Summary Ecodistrict 210: Cape Breton Highlands An objective of ecosystem-based management is to manage landscapes in as close to a natural state as possible. The intent of this approach is to promote biodiversity, sustain ecological processes, and support the long-term production of goods and services. Each of the province’s 38 ecodistricts is an ecological landscape with distinctive patterns of physical features. (Definitions of underlined terms are included in the print and electronic glossary.) This Ecological Landscape Analysis (ELA) provides detailed information on the forest and timber resources of the various landscape components of Cape Breton Highlands Ecodistrict 210. The ELA also provides brief summaries of other land values, such as minerals, energy and geology, water resources, parks and protected areas, wildlife and wildlife habitat. Cape Breton Highlands is the forested region of northern Cape Breton Island and generally includes the plateau and its rolling topography of hummocks and hills. Total area is 185,101 hectares. The ecodistrict is covered by an almost unbroken forest of balsam fir, spruce, and white birch. Cape Breton Highlands also includes the shoulder of the plateau where hardwood forests on steep slopes meet the balsam fir forests of the plateau. Barrens and wetlands are dispersed throughout and the headwaters of the island’s major rivers – such as the Margaree, Aspy, and Baddeck – start their descent down the escarpment through steep ravines. The ecodistrict has cold, late springs, heavy snowfalls and parts of the highlands receive some of the highest winds in the province.

  • “Bateman Brook Metamorphic Suite”, Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia, As Sheared, Fault-Bounded Blocks of Other Units David W.A
    Atlantic G eology 43 A re-interpretation of the “Bateman Brook Metamorphic Suite”, Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia, as sheared, fault-bounded blocks of other units David W.A. McMullin, Sandra M. Barr and Robert P. Raeside Department of Geology, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia BOP 1X0, Canada Date Received September 22,1992 Date Accepted February 16,1993 The Bateman Brook Metamorphic Suite, as previously defined, is the westernmost unit of the Bras d’Or terrane in the central Cape Breton Highlands. It outcrops along the Eastern Highlands Shear Zone, the contact between the Bras d’Or terrane and the Aspy terrane to the northwest. The Bateman Brook unit has been reported to contain a wide range of lithologies, and contacts with adjacent units are mainly faulted. Re-examination of rocks from the Bateman Brook Metamorphic Suite shows it to consist of semipelitic to psammitic schist, banded mafic gneiss, and foliated, dioritic, mafic gneiss. Rocks exhibit two major shear fabrics, an early intensely foliated and lineated fabric indicative of shear at high metamorphic grade, and a later mylonitic fabric indicative of shear at lower grade. As a result of this study, it is recommended that the name Bateman Brook Metamorphic Suite be abandoned. The southern part of the suite is re-assigned to the McMillan Flowage Formation of the Bras d’Or terrane. The central part is interpreted to include rocks of both the Kathy Road Dioritic Suite and the McMillan Flowage Formation. Most of the northern part is re-assigned to the Jumping Brook Metamorphic Suite of the Aspy terrane.

Since 2002, Port Hawkesbury Paper (PHP) has been monitoring and reporting on a suite of sustainable forest management indicators to measure its progress towards achieving targets regarding social, economic, environmental, and cultural forest values. Long-term monitoring of these values allows the public to better understand PHP’s forest management activities, and the goals and objectives we set to ensure our forest management is having a positive impact and to implement action items in areas that we are not. This is an important element of continual improvement, which PHP strives for every day. This report also summarizes the effectiveness monitoring program for High Conservation Value Forests (HCVF). These values were first identified in 2008 for Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification and updated in January 2018 to include new knowledge and information related to species at risk and protected areas. Annual monitoring is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the measures used to maintain or enhance the identified values. 2019 Annual Monitoring Report 2 Contents Executive Summary ........................................................ 1 Contents ........................................................................
