The Issue: wetland degradation in HRM
The Urban Wetland Restoration course laid out foundations for wetland restoration and considered the impact of unplanned or poorly planned development on watershed health. We are now reviewing all the comments made by our diverse panel of participants and will follow this up with an assessment of what was accomplished and what steps are needed. We talked about opportunities and impediments for greener developments in HRM that work with watersheds. With the goodwill and good intentions evident in all the organizations involved, there is hope we can truly make HRM the City in the Wilderness where watersheds work, and ensure by attention to wetlands, that Dartmouth is a City of Lakes that are monitored to maintain water quality.
All of you, each one of you, made not only a contribution to the course itself but most importantly, to the future of HRM. We can’t thank you enough.
