Accessible or Not
Urban parklands, wilderness forests and wild coastal tracts – are within HRM and we all have access to them. Or do we?
What does ‘accessibility’ actually mean? What is ‘sustainable’ and ‘equitable’ accessibility?
Get Lost in Nature-Safely
The Shaw Wilderness Park on Williams Lake is 379 acres of old growth forests, granite ridges, with a hidden waterfall, panoramic views of Halifax’s skyline and a hiking trail with loads of interesting features. You can get lost in nature but not in the park.
A Natural Classroom
The Williams Lake Conservation Company (WLCC) has been involved with the health and preservation of Williams Lake and its watershed since 1968. Today, we continue to see university students, supervised by some of our WLCC academics, studying, testing, researching and contributing their findings to our continuing efforts to protect the lake and its watershed.
Love Your Lake
Healthy shorelines are vital to healthy lakes. “Love Your Lake” (LYL) is a voluntary assessment and stewardship program for owners of properties on lakes. It promotes healthy shorelines and provides information on smart land management choices that will improve water quality, preserve wildlife habitat and support the vitality of their lake.
“Love Your Lake”, says Kelly
“Surveying Williams Lake during the summer was indeed a great experience meeting neighbours, local citizens and swimmers!” -Kelly Schnar
