Brown: TWO WEEKS AND 39 ORCHIDS IN WESTERN NEWFOUNDLAND TWO WEEKS AND 39 ORCHIDS IN WESTERN NEWFOUNDLAND Paul Martin Brown One of the truly rewarding trips to be taken in North America is that of two weeks along the western and northwestern coast of Newfoundland, the island portion of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, in eastern Canada. Newfoundland is a large island that is the easternmost outpost of Canada and is often known as "The Rock" because of the minimal soils over the bedrock that comprises the island. Coastal northwestern Newfoundland is essentially limestone and often has large exposed barrens whereas many of the southwestern areas are large open bogs and marshes. The Appalachian Mountains of North America have their northern terminus in Newfoundland and the spectacular Gros Morne National Park is one of the gems of the national park system. Roads are few, but for the most part in excellent repair and practically all of the prime orchid sites are roadside areas or quite nearby. Getting there requires either flying into St. John's and renting a vehicle and then driving across the entire island, which can take more than a day, or starting at North Sydney, Nova Scotia and taking the ferry across to Channel-Port aux Basques on the southwestern tip of the island. I find this preferable, as it is the starting point for the trip and it takes less driving time than crossing back and forth to St. John's. Regularly scheduled air transportation is available to Sydney, as well as car rentals, and it is only a short drive to North Sydney to the ferry terminal. 7
