If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of eons, has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering. Aldo Leopold"; Quotation[1] = "Three fine ferns
by Gary Schneider"; Quotation[2] = "Why Plant Native Shrubs ?
One question often heard is why plant shrubs instead of trees? At Macphail Woods, we use a combination of trees and shrubs in all our plantings. In addition to the diversity of plant species, we gain a variety of feeding and resting areas, food sources and nesting habitat."; Quotation[3] = "hobblebush - a native shrub of PEI
One of our showiest plants throughout the year, although these shrubs are so rare that few Islanders have had the chance to see them."; Quotation[4] = "Presentation to the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Environment
by Gary Schneider."; Quotation[5] = "Beaked hazelnut - a native shrub of PEI
This is our only nut-bearing native shrub, producing large round nuts, covered with bright green bristly husks that form a long beak."; Quotation[6] = "Witch hazel
Another excellent landscape plant if you have some shade. Again, it is important in woodland plantings for its beauty and the diversity it provides."; Quotation[7] = "Three lovely lady's slippers
Our three native ladys slippers are part of the large family of orchids that can be found on Prince Edward Island. The pink ladys slipper has officially been our provincial flower since 1965."; Quotation[8] = "The trilliums
Woodland wildflowers are important components of healthy forests, adding beauty, biodiversity, food and in some cases wildlife habitat"; Quotation[9] = "Bird checklist of Prince Edward Island"; Quotation[10] = "Macphail Woods Wildflower Nature Trail
Discovering the beauty of wildflowers can be both rewarding and frustrating - there are so many different ones growing in just this area alone. Unlike birds, however, they stay put and with a good field guide are quite easy to identify."; Quotation[11] = "Provincial Forest Policy Review
Forests are much more than trees: saplings and seedlings; mosses, ferns, lichens and wildflowers; fungi; litter on the floor; soil and all its lifeforms; microclimates created; wildlife populations and the people who use woodlands are all important parts of a forest and need to be considered."; Quotation[12] = "Trees along Streamsides
Streamsides play a key role in healthy wildlife communities and offer the richest diversity of any part of the forest. Shrubs and trees provide food and cover for many species of birds, amphibians and mammals.."; Quotation[13] = "Why Plant Native Shrubs ?
One question often heard is \"why plant shrubs instead of trees?\" At Macphail Woods, we use a combination of trees and shrubs in all our plantings. In addition to the diversity of plant species, we gain a variety of feeding and resting areas, food sources and nesting habitat.."; Quotation[14] = "Native Plant Garden Trail
The native plant garden, situated under the old apple orchard, was started in 1992 to showcase trees and shrubs that can be used in a variety of settings - backyards, windbreaks, stream banks and forests."; Quotation[15] = "Island Hedgerows
Given a chance, a hedgerow will expand and diversify to provide habitats for an astonishing number of plants and animals."; Quotation[16] = "Dead Trees
More and more woodlot owners are taking a broader view of their forests. They look for values other than the immediate return on wood harvested."; Quotation[17] = "Planting A White Spruce Hedge
Hedges provide privacy, protection from wind, and reduced erosion. On Prince Edward Island, white spruce is often planted and pruned for a hedge near a house. Without pruning, white spruce becomes a tall tree, but with annual pruning the height and diameter can be controlled."; Quotation[18] = "Beaked Hazelnut
This small shrub grows up to 10 feet (3 m) under good conditions. Male flowers appear in the form of small catkins in fall, pollinating tiny red female flowers in the spring. This is our only nut-bearing native shrub, producing large round nuts, covered with bright green bristly husks that form a long beak."; // ====================================== // Do not change anything below this line // ====================================== var Q = Quotation.length; var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*(Q-1)); function showQuotation(){document.write(Quotation[whichQuotation]);} showQuotation();
