Pokemouche, New Brunswick

Despite its population of only 518 inhabitants, the LSD plays an important role in transportation, the economy and culture of the region, and it is the site of several major projects.[3] This was followed by Poquemouche (Bellin, 1744 et Mitchell, 1755), Pokemushi (Jefferys, 1755, Smethurst, 1755), Bamush (DesBarres, 1778), Pockmouche (Coney, 1832 et Saunders, 1852) and Pokamouche (Gesner, 1847).Pokemouche has a territory lying roughly in the shape of a north-south oriented rectangle, bordered by Six Roads to the south, by Landry to the west, Evangeline to the northeast, and Inkerman to the east.The subsurface of Pokemouche is made up mainly of sedimentary rocks, especially grey sandstone, dating from the Pennsylvanian era (between 300 and 311 million years).The long history of colonisation and disruption of the forest led to the prevalence of red maple, white poplar and gray birch.The hollows of the valleys and areas of coarse soil are covered with black spruces and jack pines, which is evidence of a high frequency of fires.[7] The Pokemouche River Environmental Management Board has undertaken years of work for the protection of the banks as well as public awareness.
