[BNS_members] Update on the Kentville Ravine

[Caroline Beddoe]

Hi all, 

I'm sure you have all heard about the devastation to the beautiful,
ecologically-significant, and beloved Kentville Ravine, with heavy rains
causing severe erosion and the collapse of a neighbouring dump into the
ravine. 

We've heard from many who want to help clean up the ravine. Thank you -
this is the natural instinct from many who care about this place.
However, please see the attached note from Ken Harrison about needing to
wait until it is safe and the site has been evaluated. This is attached
as a word document including a map outlining the damage.

 Coordinator, Blomidon Naturalists Society
 Blomidon Naturalists Society activities take place in Mi'kma'ki, the
traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. This
territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which did
not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but in fact
recognized Mi'kmaw title. We want to recognize that outdoor education
and play would not be possible without access to the natural world that
has been stewarded since time immemorial by the many Indigenous peoples
of this land. We acknowledge that we have a responsibility to honour and
learn about their histories and current cultures and to actively work in
support of reconciliation. We are committed to fostering respectful and
sustainable relationships with the Indigenous Peoples of this land, with
all other organisms, with the land and with the water.
