TCA has scheduled TWO Level 1 training opportunities for HRM residents. These training opportunities are provided FREE, thanks to support from the Halifax Regional Municipality and the Ecology Action Centre, as part of the Living Lakeshores Project.
Green Shores® is a program originally created by the Stewardship Centre for BC, and has recently expanded and updated to be applicable in the Maritimes! Green Shores provides anyone working on a lake or ocean shoreline with a system of credits and ratings to optimize the benefits that the project provides to both the project manager/homeowner, and to the environment. Level 1 training is a great introduction to the program and covers shoreline ecology, governance, and climate change adaptation measures, with the ability to apply what is learned to a real shoreline in the afternoon.
