INTRODUCTION
The Appalachian/Atlantic region stretches from the Appalachian mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. This small region only comprises 3.6% of Canada's land mass and includes the provinces of Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec. Lying between the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the Atlantic Continental Shelf, this land region boasts a variety of landscapes, including sheer mountains, rugged coast lines, and rolling lowlands. With a beauty all its own, this region of Canada offers much to visitors and residents alike.
