I’ve worked in conservation and I support protecting near-urban wilderness areas like Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes in HRM. Conservation has huge benefits: space for outdoor recreation, habitat for wildlife, and climate resilience.
Much progress has been made to conserve Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes, but land still needs to be protected. As you can see from these photos, there’s not much time left to prevent paradise from being paved.
