Since January 7, 2025, draglines have been used to dig out channels and open water areas within the dense cattail stands of Lynde Marsh on the north side of Victoria Street. This wetland interspersion project and is the first of three restoration projects planned for Lynde Shores Conservation Area.
In nature, diversity welcomes diversity. If diversity is reintroduced at the base of a habitat, plant diversity and animal diversity follow! By bringing back the balance of open water and plant life, as well as variation in water depth, plant diversity and animal diversity will also increase.
These three restoration projects were designed in an effort to mitigate threats facing the coastal wetlands of Lynde Creek and Cranberry Marshes located within Lynde Shores Conservation Area. They are being completed in partnership with Ducks Unlimited Canada and are made possible by a grant of over $2 million from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
