Joe-Pye weed in full bloom in a sidewalk setting in Halifax, Sep 10, 2018. The species is native to NS, “forming colonies along streams, banks, meadows and swamps” – Source: Nova Scotia Plants<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\n

This website was set up a few years back<\/a> by an economist and a ecologist (retired) at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia as an exploratory venture to help us coordinate and develop our interests in urban landscapes.<\/p>\n

We had a domain name – urbanlandscapesns.ca until recently which we gave up but the contents are retained under the URL www.versicolor.ca\/urbanlandscapesns.<\/p>\n

The website never –\u00a0 at least never to date – got to the point of formally presenting it simply because we have both been preoccupied with other interests, but our passion for the topic remains.<\/p>\n

So the website will continue to serve as a place for us to post bits and pieces that we want to keep track of, and at some point we may pick it up again with more focus. Or not.<\/p>\n

Of course we are happy if others find materials of interest here.<\/p>\n
