Celebrate Earth Week in the Halifax Backlands!
Join us for a guided hike through the rugged Halifax Backlands, home to two of Nova Scotia’s treasured wetlands. This free Earth Week event is hosted by the Ecology Action Centre and Our HRM Alliance, in partnership with HRM, Ducks Unlimited and the Backlands Coalition. Explore this unique wilderness while contributing to real conservation science!
Learn how to use iNaturalist, a free app that helps identify and log local species, adding valuable data to a community science project. Your observations will support ongoing research and conservation efforts in the region.
Expect a slow pace, moderate terrain with some off-trail hiking. To fully participate, bring a smartphone with the iNaturalist app downloaded.
