3706 is located on the eastern edge of North Mountain which is enclosing the Annapolis Valley. Scot's Bay and Cape Split are just north, and the farmlands of Blomidon and Medford are below the cliff the property sits on.

The property sits on a south south-east facing slope. Weather is cooler than in the valley below.

Forest

The forest is a semi-dry, fertile Acadian Forest [1] made up of primarily White Ash, Sugar Maple, Beech, Birch and Spruce. The Beech suffer from Beech Bark Disease.

A Land Management Plan will be created to address the usage of the natural resources on the land, including the cutting of wood for Projects.

Soil

The soil found through the property is rocky and difficult to dig into. The clay / silt / sand compensation has not yet been determined.

Flora

Wild Sarsaparilla

Funga

Chaga

A medicinal mushroom that grows on dying birch trees. Used for Chaga tea.

Fauna
