NatureNS listserv participants are encouraged to provide input to the Halif=
ax Green Network Plan (HGNP) by adding pins/descriptions to the HGNP online=
 mapping tool to identify lands are that important for biodiversity conserv=
ation and ecosystem services.

This map and information about HGNP are  available at <http://halifax.ca/Ha=
lifaxGreennetwork/> http://halifax.ca/HalifaxGreennetwork/

A memo written by the Our HRM Alliance Greenbelt Scientific Advisory Commit=
tee
http://tinyurl.com/ntqk98b
provides some further context from an ecological perspective.

As a component of Phase 1 of HGNP, the map is available for input is availa=
ble only to the end of June, 2015.

The map covers the entire of Halifax Co./HRM from Hubbards to Moose River a=
nd includes many of the sites oft mentioned on NatureNS listserv.  Sharing =
of NatureNS listserv participants' knowledge about such sites by posting on=
 the map would  provide invaluable input to this process.

The online mapping tool<http://www.halifax.ca/site/exit.php?url=3Dhttp://en=
gage.o2design.com/halifax/engage_map/> and survey allows people to identify=
 points on the map and describe why they are important and what we need to =
consider for their long-term protection and use.

You can zoom in on the map to a site you want to identify, select a theme (=
typically "Ecosystems" for input about birding sites, for example) and plac=
e it on the map. This opens up a form with boxes for input of 1. Place/Site=
 name, 2 Special feature, 3 Description, 4. This place is important or rare=
 because.., 5. This place/area is vulnerable because.., 6 I wish/hope this =
place.., 7. Additional Comments, 8. Comment by..

When you go to the map, click on the toggle box at top right with three hor=
izontal lines to bring up the working menu (Basemaps, Layers, Draw, Instruc=
tions and a link to O2). Under Instructions it tells you that there is a li=
mit of 250 characters for the large text boxes, 100 for smaller text boxes;=
 also that you can attach images, 1 MB max file size.

A nice feature of the map is that you can see what others have contributed,=
 but don't hesitate to provide more input on particular sites as that will =
simply underscore their values.
