Prince Edward Island is part of Canada's Acadian Forest region. This forest region (orange) covers all of PEI and Nova Scotia and most of New Brunswick. Ecologically, it is very similar to the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Forest Region of central Canada and the much larger Transition Forest Region of eastern North America. The name "Acadian Forest" was derived from the general region settled by the Acadians in the 17th and 18th Centuries.
