We had an exciting day in Kouchibouguac! The weather was a little chilly but sunny and we didn't mind because we learned alot of interesting things. We learned that the wolf, wolverine and caribou are now extinct from New Brunswick. There are 250 species of birds in N.B. We have two types of trees in our Acadian Forest. We have trees that loose their leaves and others that stay green all year. Porcupine quills keep moving in your skin unless you cut them and pull them out with pliers. Porcupines have 4000 quills on their back. The wolverine is called the devil of the forest.       We loved the tower on the Bog Trail, you could see the entire area from the top. When one class jumped on the trail we could feel the vibrations. The bog is like a huge sponge or trampoline.We saw Pitcher plants which trap insects and digests them. You had to be careful to stay on the trail if not you could get wet. A moose got trapped in the bog 5 years ago, he could not get back out and died. The water is cold and acidic.      Kouchibouguac is a First Nations word that means "River of the long tides" You can  see seals at "Black Lands Gully." We ate at a log cabin at La Source picnic area. The staff had a fire waitng for us in the wood stove. La Source is by the Kouchibouguac River, it is beautiful!
