The residents and friends of the Timbermere community, located in Stittsville, are working to beautify our public green spaces. Timbermere has a couple of exciting projects coming on-line this year.

Hydro Corridor Naturalization Project
The City of Ottawa Forestry Staff, with input from pubic consultations and meetings, has drafted a vegetation plan for Timbermere. Our community applied for a grant to purchase trees for our hydro corridor project. The entire plan can be viewed on Councillor Shad Qadri's website here. (scroll to the bottom of his page for the information.) The plan is a phased multi-year project to naturalize the hydro corridor. The city provides the trees and plant material through the grant program. The residents must provide the man power to take on the planting.


Feedmill Creek Naturalization Project

Our Community has applied for a Green Partnership Program grant through the City of Ottawa to naturalize the Feedmill Creek Park.

Our mandate is to assume environmental stewardship (the care and enhancement of the land for the benefit of the environment and of future generations by way of restoration and maintenance of habitat including biodiversity and ecosystem health) of the Feedmill Park area. We intend on planting a sustainable landscape using native trees, shrubs and wild flowers in what is now a man-made area that is mostly overgrown seed grass intended only to prevent soil erosion and a minimal number of trees planted by the developer.

It is our hope to have our first planting day in the Fall of 2008!

Thank you to Carol and Lynn Ciavaglia for donating 50 feet of cedars and Sandra and Frank Lozanski for their donation of 50 whips (small trees) to the Feedmill Creek Naturalization process.
