On Earth Day the Ecology Action Centre hosted several online presentations. The first presentation is of local interest to us. It discusses Halifax’s urban wilderness areas and mentions our new Shaw Wilderness Park in the Williams Lake backlands.

“… this morning they were so disoriented, they flew out of the water and took refuge on the lawn, which is something they normally never do.”

Collecting trash and debris that collects along the shoreline adds purpose to the exercise and improves the views of the coves and islands that we enjoy!

If you’ve been walking in the woods around Williams Lake lately, you may have noticed a certain buzz in the air. It’s not your imagination, and no – mosquito season hasn’t started early.
