The ecosystems where the Rockrose grows is a harsh “Barren” landscape, with constant winds, shallow sandy soil and exposure to salty sea spray. Learn more about Nova Scotia Barrens: novascotia.ca/natr/wildlif...
#NSWildifeSpotlight #SpeciesAtRisk #WildPlants
Barren ecosystems are not appreciated like other unique ecosystems around the province. The primary threat to the Rockrose is human activity, highways expansions, new residential and/or commercial development, and sand quarries.
