Nova Scotia's Native Plants and Animals

Nova Scotia’s rugged coastline meets sheltered bays and tidal marshes, providing habitat for seabirds and marine life. Inland, mixed Acadian forests of spruce, maple, and hemlock shelter black bears, porcupines, and countless songbirds. Summer meadows burst with wildflowers like blue flag iris and goldenrod. Along the shores, seals bask on rocky outcrops and eagles soar overhead.
