Endangered Plant Lives In Dipper Harbour

Charlotte County is the only home for an endangered species.



Paula Noel, Program Manager of the Nature Conservancy of Canada tells CHSJ News about the delicate plant with bell shaped purple flowers.

It's called Van Brunt's Jacob's Ladder and it's a plant that was thought to be extinct in the province.

The plant was re-discovered by a botanist in Dipper Harbour in 2005, and it's only other known location is in Utopia.

Noel says it grows it wet areas, near streams and lakes.
The NCC is asking anyone who has seen the plant to report the sighting.

If you see the plant, you can email them at atlantic@natureconservancy.ca or call 1-877-231-4400.
