This year, birding walks will take place in 11 districts across HRM. We encourage citizens and decision-makers to take actions that benefit birds and their habitats. Get a chance to meet your local councillor and learn about birds in your neighbourhood. Birds are all around us. They are the most visible type of wildlife in our cities. However, they also face specific challenges that are causing bird populations around the world to decline. We can learn more about the needs of wild birds in our cities, and enjoy the free beauty that they bring to our lives.<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>District 12 with Paul Russell: <strong>May 24th, 5:30 pm \u2013 7:30 pm<\/strong>, First Lake Trailhead \u2013 Sports Stadium parking lot: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/9rbauh1sKXsGW7dCA\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/9rbauh1sKXsGW7dCA<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 1 with Cathy Deagle Gammon: <strong>May 25th, 9:30 am \u2013 11:30 am<\/strong>, McDonald Sports Park: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/T23agco2gtTPEtTGA\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/T23agco2gtTPEtTGA<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 11 with Patty Cuttell: May 26th, 1:00 pm \u2013 3:00 pm, Urban Farm of Spryfield: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/M6dU3KEBQuhty1uv9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/M6dU3KEBQuhty1uv9<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 3 with Becky Kent: May 26th, 9:30 am \u2013 11:30 am, Shearwater Flyer Trail: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/RTDQ2oHmjqVokBkE9\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/RTDQ2oHmjqVokBkE9<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 10 with Kathryn Morse: May 27th \u2013 9:30am \u2013 11:30am, Hemlock Ravine: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/sbEnp9xPKTRanNww6\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/sbEnp9xPKTRanNww6<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 12 with Iona Stoddard: May 27th \u2013 9:30 am \u2013 11:30 am, Belcher\u2019s Marsh: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/vDYRRTE2s9KZRPV76\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/vDYRRTE2s9KZRPV76<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 9 with Shawn Cleary: May 29th \u2013 9:30 am<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/uaqjKdxmjHisnPHx9\">-11:00 am<\/a> Frog Pond Trail, Sir Sandford Fleming Park:<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/uaqjKdxmjHisnPHx9\"> https:\/\/forms.gle\/uaqjKdxmjHisnPHx9<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 6 with Toni Mancini: May 29 \u2013 9:30 am<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/vJ1r1AU2rTPbm4oC7\">-11:30 am<\/a>, Shubie Park: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/vJ1r1AU2rTPbm4oC7\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/vJ1r1AU2rTPbm4oC7<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 13 with Pam Lovelace: May 31 \u2013 6:00 pm-8:00 pm, Jerry Lawrence Provincial Park:<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/UbTWA3cFyPjnwVCF8\"> https:\/\/forms.gle\/UbTWA3cFyPjnwVCF8<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 2 with David Hendsbee: May 31 \u2013 9:30 am<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/2EAuHfnqWf4z9nM28\">-11:30 am<\/a>, Gaetz Brook Greenway Eastern Trailhead: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/2EAuHfnqWf4z9nM28\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/2EAuHfnqWf4z9nM28<\/a><\/li>\n<li>District 4 with Trish Purdy: May 31 \u2013 9:30 am<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/84nsb3x9SJ7Z1oav7\">-11:30 am<\/a>, Bissett Lake Park: <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/84nsb3x9SJ7Z1oav7\">https:\/\/forms.gle\/84nsb3x9SJ7Z1oav7<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Nature NS &#8220;Join Bird Friendly Halifax for the second annual Bird Week!
