**** Via Nature Nova Scotia Halifax lives up to its reputation as the city of trees, but did you know that current design guidelines don’t include recommendations for wildlife-friendly shrubs or other plants? We and allies at the Bird Friendly Halifax Coalition are compiling a list of species to recommend as additions to HRM’s “Red Book”, the document that guides municipal design among developers, consultants, and contractors. We want to know what you want to see in HRM’s urban forest. Design principles that benefit nature, like the use of native species and layered habitats, won’t work long term if they conflict with public values or desires.
