Worth Doing
Since the spring of 1992, the Environmental Committee of Ottawa South has undertaken many initiatives to improve Brewer Park, in Ottawa. ECOS's goal was to create a sustainable nature reserve in the heart of the city of Ottawa. Some of their enhancement activities included the construction of fish and turtle habitat, restoration of the shoreline through the planting of trees, and the construction of a footbridge, a lookout and an interpretation centre.

As a result, Brewer Park in now a biodiversity haven on the Rideau River! The mixture of fast rapids, slow moving water, and deep and shallow pools is ideal for a diversity of aquatic species. The revegetation of the shoreline has created areas for wildlife to inhabit, and areas for humans to observe it. [24]
