Bird Walks with Williams Lake Conservation Company: Shaw Wilderness Park

Get a chance to explore a part of the Shaw Wilderness Park, a new ecologically diverse green space that is 153-hectare in size. The walk will take you along the shores of Williams Lake, which is an urban, yet preciously wild lake. Fulton Lavender, a local bird identification expert from Williams Lake Conservation Company, will lead the walk, share his knowledge of key habitats for birds in this park, and share hints for your most effective bird-watching. Located on the edge of the Purcells Cove Backlands, this park is a home for many species of birds including the Common Loon, Bald Eagle, and numerous songbirds.

HRM Environmental Committee Report

West end of Williams Lake Sept 2020

HRM’s Environment and Sustainability Standing Committee (ESSC) will consider the Staff Report in response on the remediation of the Williams Lake Dam this Thursday, 3rd February, 2022 to review the report and recommendations.

There are concerns about the availability of public access when levels leave popular entry points high and dry.

See the report and consider making your views known to the committee.
