It covers an area of approxiniately 1,118 square miles. The primary purpose of the report is to describe the various soils found in the county, the factors governing their formation and develop- nient and their relative suitability for agricultural purposes. One of the most important parts of a soil survey report is the soil inap which accompanies it. This inap shows the location and edent of the various soils and their relation to one another. The scale of the map used does not permit very detailed separations and consequently it does not show sniall variations in the soils on any individual farni. Such variations are described in the report. The first part of the report deals with a general description of the area-its location, population, transportation facilities and industries. This is followed by a section on the factors which affect the formation of the soils and their developinent . The main body of the report is devoted to the classification and description of the various soils and their suitability for agriculture. Finally, the agriculture of the area and its relation to the various soils is discussed. An attempt is made to rate the soils according to their ability to produce crops econoinically. This is necessarily a general rating, since sufficieiit accurate information on crop yields is difficult to obtain. It is subject to revision as linowledge of the soils grows. The influence of soil erosion on crop production and management of the various soils is discussed. This is an important factor, too often neglected or not recognized by the farmer. The information in this report has a wide variety of uses and applications. Its first object is to supply the farmer with information about his soil. Research workers and soil specialists will be interested in the aspects of soil analysis and soil classification. Other worliers such as those interested in soil conservation, land-use planning, recreational facilities, highway construction, forestry, wild- life conservation and real estate, or students and teachers of soil science will find useful information throughout the report. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA Location and Extent Pictou county occupies a central position in the north shore area of Sova Scot,ia.

  • 330 Pictou Antigonish Highlands Profile
    A NOVA SCOTIA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLICATION Ecodistrict Profile Ecological Landscape Analysis Summary Ecodistrict 330: Pictou Antigonish 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 Pictou Antigonish Highlands Ecodistrict 330. 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. This ecodistrict has been described as an elevated triangle separating the Northumberland Lowlands Ecodistrict 530 of Pictou County from the St. Georges Bay Ecodistrict 520 lowlands of Antigonish County. Generally, the highlands at their summit become a rolling plateau best exemplified by The Keppoch, an area once extensively settled and farmed. The elevation in the ecodistrict is usually 210 to 245 metres above sea level and rises to 300 metres at Eigg Mountain. The total area of Pictou Antigonish Highlands is 133,920 hectares. Private land ownership accounts for 75% of the ecodistrict, 24% is under provincial Crown management, and the remaining 1% includes water bodies and transportation corridors. A significant portion of the highlands was settled and cleared for farming by Scottish settlers beginning in the late 1700s with large communities at Rossfield, Browns Mountain, and on The Keppoch.

Executive Summary During 15 through 20 July 2012, I traveled to Nova Scotia to obtain plant material that Dr. Sam Vander Kloet, Emeritus Professor at Acadia University had obtained during his life. Acadia University Conservatory, Wolfville, had about 100 accessions of subtropical Vaccinium (blueberry) and related genera. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada had about 90 accessions of native North American Vaccinium in their field collections. On Monday 16 July through Wednesday 18 July 2012, I worked at the Herbarium and Conservatory of Acadia University working with Ruth Newell, the Curator. From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, I worked with Dr. Andrew Jamieson, Small fruit Breeder and Geneticist, Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada. I obtained a total of 654 root and stem cuttings of the following genera: Cavendishia (62), Ceratostemma (7), Costera (1), Diogenesia (9), Disterigma (10), Macleania (25), Pernettya (13), Psammisia (7), Spyrospermum (7), and Vaccinium (513). I also obtained two accessions of seed including Vaccinium boreale (1000 count) and Fragaria vesca subsp. alba (2000 count). I obtained a Canadian phytosanitary certificate and had USDA APHIS permits and letters to bring in the Vaccinium and permissible nurserystock.
