Nova Scotia EAs (Environmental Assessments) provide a wealth of information about the flora, fauna and habitats of particular areas in Nova Scotia, much of which applies to adjacent lands.
For example, the consultants are required to provide lists of rare species occurring within 100 km of a site. See for example, Appendix D, p. 7 ff, of the MacLellans Mountain Quarry Expansion Project (2019)
Also, the methods cited may be of value to people doing their own “EAs”.
View for example, the Registration document, pp 27-726, for the MacLellans Mountain Quarry Expansion Project (2019)
