--=====================_103548328==.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed As reported to NatureNS by Hans Toom, the Five Bridge Lakes region, a 8268 hectare piece of undeveloped Provincial land west of the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has received formal designation as a Provincial Wilderness Area <http://tinyurl.com/68hkdey>. It is important to note that this wilderness area is continguous on its eastern border with the Halifax Western Common Wilderness (1600 hectares), Canada's first urban wilderness <http://tinyurl.com/5r3fvn7>. Together the two Wilderness areas protect much of the western half of the Chebucto Peninsula, and lie just 30 minutes from the heart of the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces. And the protected area may grow in size, if private in-holdings are purchased. A day for tempered satisfaction.
