After doing some maintainance on a cache nearby, I remembered that there was this place I visited a little back and wanted to have a cache featured here! It's a great place for dogs to play or even bird watching. You can even learn a little about the restoration project here!
This info was from The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.
Brewer Park Pond Restoration Project.
From October to December 2014 the landlocked Brewer Park Pond and former artificial swimming hole was reconnected to the main channel of the Ridieau River. The newly connected pond boasts increased biodiversity with the creation of a new, vibrant wetland and pond with shoreline plantings, breeding bird habitat, amphibian habitat, turtle nesting beds and basking logs. The pond will provide improved spawning, nursery, rearing and feeding habitat for the local fish community in the Rideau all year round. This part of the Rideau River is home smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, yellow perch, northern pike, walleye and muskellunge.
16,000 square metres of new, functioning wetland and fish habitats in the heart of the City of Ottawa.
120 community volunteers helped plant over 1600 trees, shrubs and aquatic plants in and around the pond.
