Petition relating to the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes (BMBCL) Regional Park and the sale of HRM owned lands and commercial development in the Bayers Lake Business Park We, the undersigned residents of Halifax Regional Municipality, urge HRM staff to continue to work with the Department of the Environment and BANC developments and interested community groups to ensure: 1. Creation of a safe public access and amenities site for active recreation in BMBCL Regional Park and Wilderness Area 2. Preservation of the wetlands on the south side of the Wilderness Area which form a part of the overall Watershed containing Susies and other Birch Cove Lakes, some of the healthiest lakes in HRM 3. Preservation of sight lines from the Birch Cove Lakes and 4. Preservation of the granite plateau that forms the edge of the watershed west of Kent Building Supply. Further, we urge HRM staff to withdraw the HRM lands from the development that were included in the 2006 Regional Park concept proposal (Map 13) south of the Wilderness Area and to designate these lands as part of the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Regional Park
The momentum is undeniable now. Seeing this scale of concern for our lakes confirms we are on the right track.

Please protect this area for future generations to enjoy. It is important to protect such areas to ensure that the natural flora and fauna are preserved. When you open up such areas to building, it alters the natural balance of plants and animals. Please preserve its beauty.

Do not sell off the land. It belongs to the public and should be a protected area for everyone to go for a walk.

Keep the development out of the park. We have enough strip malls already and dont need to ruin one of the last nice nature spots left in the city.

Save the granite plateau. We need to think about the environment instead of just more business parks.

PLEASE STOP BUILDING. The lakes are beautiful and we need to save the wetlands before they are gone forever. My kids love hiking back there.

Too much concrete already. Lets keep the birch cove area green and wild. Once its paved over you can never get it back.
