------   Boucher forest species?

 

It has come to my attention that an article appeared in the Bulletin in December reporting that a group of people had identified 300 "new" species in the Boucher forest. This has led some people to believe that there is something special about the life found in that forest. While the species may have been "new" to those who listed the species found there, there are no "new" species in the Boucher forest. The forest is not unique with respect to the species living there.
