Let’s get to know a few of our plant neighbours in the Spryfield area of Halifax. Karen McKendry, of the Ecology Action Centre (EAC), will discuss and explore edible, interesting and rare plants, and their fascinating lives in the Backlands and the Williams Lake watershed.
Professors and students from local universities make use of Williams Lake as a testing ground for their field research. And every year, scientists, academics, and researchers are drawn to study the vast array of topics that concern the lake – from hydrology (the study of water), geology, biology (animal and plant life) and geography. We thought friends of Williams Lake might like to learn about some of these research studies.
Whether you’re new to fishing or just getting started, this is an opportunity to learn about sustainable fishing practices, conservation and how we can all play a part in protecting our local waters. We’ll discuss conservation efforts, local fish species, and tips for responsible fishing to ensure that Nova Scotia’s natural resources are forever preserved for future generations. Bring your family, friends and newbie fishers to connect, share experiences, and let’s talk fish!
