2021-04-20
Since the new transformer station requires only five acres of the property, Hydro Ottawa partnered with the City of Ottawa, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Canadian Wildlife Federation, to create one of the largest pollinator meadows of its kind in eastern Ontario. Adjacent to its future station, the agreement means that 15 acres will be dedicated to a pollinator meadow which is scheduled for seeding during 2021’s upcoming planting season. A four acre tree reforestation area was planted in 2020 with 2,750 trees thanks to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.
