A Living Legacy in French Village 🌿
Our Community Vision is Taking Root!

We are so proud to share the progress of The French Village Conservation Woodland Project, a heart-led initiative by the Parish of French Village (St. Paul’s Anglican Church). This project is more than just land preservation—it’s about creating a sustainable future where nature and community thrive together.

What makes this project special?

🫎 27 Acres of Protected Forest: A vital sanctuary for the mainland moose, yellow birch trees, and rare lichens.

🌱 Canada’s 1st Urban Certified Green Burial Site: Offering a peaceful, eco-friendly resting place that returns us to the earth in a natural, dignified way.

🚶 Community Wellness: Featuring over 2km of trails, including a dedicated Seniors’ Exercise Loop, a meditation garden, and a forest school for our youth.

⛪ Preserving Our Heritage: Revitalizing the historic salmon-pink St. Paul’s Church as a hub for education, events, and community connection.

As Seen in the News: 🗞️
Our story has captured hearts across the province! Check out the recent media coverage detailing our journey toward becoming a provincially designated conservation area:

CBC News: "Proposed conservation area would bring you closer to nature — and to the dead" – An in-depth look at how our woodland will double as a beautiful, natural burial ground.

Climate Stories Atlantic: "A Final Footprint" – A powerful feature on the spiritual and environmental connection of green burials in our yellow birch forest.

Halifax Regional Council: Our project has been presented to the city as a model for nature-based climate solutions and seniors' health.
Join us as we protect this 11-hectare gem behind St. Paul’s. Every share helps us grow!

On this wall I found the names of my family members,, Burchells and Dauphinees ,,plus some of the different ways of spelling those names. I visited there in 2018.
We will remember them.
