The Village owned parcel on Brookside Rd, east of Talmage, is
getting an ecological uplift this year and we want your contribution. The goal of
this project is to restore floodplain habitat so that it may better filter
runoff from the adjacent residential property before reaching the Ottawa
River. This will be done by constructing
shallow depressions in the landscape that will capture runoff from two drainage
ditches and replanting the site with 5,000 native trees. Passive recreation space
and trails will be incorporated into the design, creating opportunities for
people to enjoy time outdoors. To learn
more and review the 30% design concept, please visit https://www.oakopenings.org/news/village-of-ottawa-hills-natural-infrastructure-restoration/
