DOGS: Is your dog the reason you are active and get outdoors?

Owning a dog comes with a full set of responsibilities and it does affect ones lifestyle. On the positive side owning a dog is an excellent excuse to get outdoors and get exercise. Many of us venture out on the same routine walk day after day. Perhaps the City Nature Challenge is an excellent opportunity to get out and explore a new location – just remember to take along your camera and/or mobile device and take a few photos of the plants and animals that you observe!

While walking keep your eyes open. Does your dog have a favourite tree? Do you know what kind it is? Consider uploading a photo to iNaturalist – each and every observation counts!

NOTE: We aren’t recommending that you post photos of your dog (no matter how cute or handsome) – but feel free to upload multiple photos of Spot’s favourite tree. Perhaps one photo could include your pet, for scale purposes of course!

Here is the link to the list of HRM off-leash areas https://www.halifax.ca/recreation/parks-trails-gardens/parks-outdoor-spaces/leash-dog-parks. Please considering adding comments below describing the locations of your favourite off-leash areas and or favourite walking routes.

The City Nature Challenge is a competition and in order to be respectable we need participation from the entire community – for the 4-day period between April 24-27th please combine observing nature as part of your daily routine!
