Otonabee Conservation and local secondary school students will be planting a variety of trees and shrubs along the shoreline of the stormwater management pond located on Marsdale Drive in Peterborough. The planting will occur on October 22 and 23, 2020. The planting area is outlined in red on the map below:
The trees and shrubs selected for this project are native species, including Fragrant Sumac, Red Osier Dogwood, Elderberry, Snowberry, Serviceberry, Black Chokeberry, and Silky Dogwood. These species will provide a number of benefits including habitat for wildlife and stabilization of the shoreline. The City of Peterborough is responsible for the ongoing management of the vegetation and the operation of the stormwater management pond.
