It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Burkhard Plache.
With his wife Ingrid, he was a constant visitor to the Backlands, and introduced many people to its natural wonders.
Burkhard was a pillar of the Halifax naturalist community and will be sorely missed by his wife Ingrid and all of us who knew him.
There will be a Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving on Sep 28, 2022.
Please see his obituary for details: https://www.dartmouthfuneralhome.ca/obituary/burkhard-plache
Burkhard leads a field trip to Colpitt Lake on Mar 18, 2006. “For a while, we could well have imagined we were hundreds of miles away from ‘civilization’, instead of the few kilometres that we were.”
