World Nature Conservation Day: July 28, 2022
Five ways you can act locally and contribute globally to World Nature Conservation Day – 2022!
Conservationists and Developers
“Creating public access to Williams Lake is a top priority for the WLCC,” says conservation advocate Kathleen Hall, a longtime member of the board of directors. “That is why we are currently following a recent request for zoning change on a 9.4-acre parcel of land on Purcell’s Cove Road that would potentially close an historically significant and well-used path, ‘Lover’s Lane,’ that leads to the shores of Williams Lake. This is an opportunity to work with the developer to preserve this culturally significant path through the HRM “Park Designation” by-law and we are asking to meet with the developer.”
Sambro Rd – Done Deal
“The NS Utilities and Review Board (NSUARB) has allowed an appeal by the owner of 48-50 Old Sambro Road to overturn the decision made by HRM Community Council to turn down an application for re-zoning. This means the zoning will be changed to enable the development of a multi-unit, 4-story dwelling with underground parking.” -Murray Coolican
WLCC Hosts Series of Bird Walks
What’s the difference between a “bird-watcher” and a “birder?” A “birder” is a passionate, bird loving aficionado. A “bird watcher” enjoys birds in a more casual way and can stroll through the Shaw Wilderness Park and enjoy a lesson from two highly qualified, engaging “bird enthusiasts.”
