(yes, those are Bald Eagles awaiting what the tide might bring)
The Horton Landing site, formerly a Mi'kmaq meeting place, was a witness to the Deportation of the Acadians in 1755 and the arrival of the Planters in 1760. The tree had added meaning as a result. ====

And in 1974 we imported a copper beech tree that Betsy's mother had grown from seed (from the giant copper beech in her yard in Winchester MA), in a 10-gallon bucket, a sapling 6 feet tall. Here's how it looked 44 years later:

In November of 2010, the 175-year-old elm tree that once stood as a lonely sentinel facing the high tides of the Minas Basin was downed during a powerful storm.
a young elm at Horton Landing (there was a huge elm on one side of the driveway, and it dodged Dutch Elm Disease until about 2010, and finally had to be cut down)
