Sawmill Creek Lavant Shagbarks Preservation Site
Sawmill Creek This 30x60 m site has been provided by the City of Ottawa as part of the Sawmill Creek constructed wetland adjacent to the O-Train Greenboro terminal. A multi-purpose pathway provides access to the site.25 seedlings were planted on 1 May 2010 by John Adams, John Sankey and Richard Viger. A City of Ottawa CEPGP grant paid for steel stakes compatible with other stakes throughout the complex. After planting, there was a prolonged summer drought which drove most of the seedlings into dormancy; they started to recover in August when rains returned. However, to allow for losses, each dormant seedling had two additional seeds from the 2008 Lavant crop added beside them on 19 August.
The planting crew: John Adams, Richard Viger, John Sankey
