Christian Furbish's lousewort is a herb endemic to the shores of the upper Saint John River Most of New Brunswick is forested with secondary forest or tertiary forest At the start of European settlement the Maritimes were covered from coast to coast by a forest of mature trees giants by today's standards Today less than one per cent of old-growth Acadian forest remains, and the World Wide Fund for Nature lists the Acadian Forest as endangered. Following the frequent large scale disturbances caused by settlement and timber harvesting the Acadian forest is not growing back as it was but is subject to borealization This means that exposure-resistant species that are well adapted to the frequent large scale disturbances common in the boreal forest are increasingly abundant These include jack pine balsam fir black spruce white birch and poplar. Forest ecosystems support large carnivores such as the bobcat Canada lynx and black bear and the large herbivores moose and white-tailed deer Fiddlehead greens are harvested from the Ostrich fern which grows on riverbanks Furbish's lousewort a perennial herb endemic to the shores of the upper Saint John River is an endangered species threatened by habitat destruction riverside development forestry littering and recreational use of the riverbank.

Sheaffe was later to allege that local settlers had unlawfully come into possession of Government-owned farming tools or other stores looted and discarded by the Americans and demanded that they be handed back During the looting several officers under Chauncey's command took books from York's first subscription library After finding out his officers were in possession of looted library books Chauncey had the books packed in two crates and returned to York However by the time the books arrived the library had closed and the books were auctioned off in 1822 The looting of York occurred in spite of Pike's earlier orders that outlined all civilian property be respected with any soldier convicted of such transgressions be executed. Dearborn similarly emphatically denied giving orders for any buildings to be destroyed and deplored the worst of the atrocities in his letters but he was nonetheless unable or unwilling to rein in his soldiers Dearborn himself was embarrassed by the looting as it made a mockery of the terms of surrender he arranged His soldiers' disregard for the terms he arranged and local civil leaders' continued protest against them made Dearborn eager to leave York as soon as all the captured stores were transported Aftermath.
