Once in a Lifetime
We have a rare opportunity right now to preserve 379 acres of pristine urban wilderness. The Purcell’s Cove Backlands— bordering on Williams and Colpitt Lakes—are located less than five kilometres from downtown Halifax.
Ecological Assessment of Backlands Plant Communities
The WLCC recently commissioned a study of plant communities found in the Williams Lake Backlands. The Williams Lake Backlands (WLB), covering approximately 200 ha, are the larger, undeveloped part of the Williams Lake Watershed.
