Interpretive Visit to the RVCA’s Stillwater Creek Wetland Restoration
Date: 20 Jun 2025
Time: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Leaders: Rosario Castanon Escobar and Susan O’Connor
Meet: On Corkstown Rd at Moodie Dr
Description: Rosario will lead us through a walk of the site, talk about the restoration project completed by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and we will get a chance to observe all four wetland cells.
We will observe RVCA scientists during monitoring work including fish sampling, where we’ll have opportunities for questions. They will show us various fish species they will be cataloguing.
To round off the day, we will be participating in the removal of invasive species, the main target being Phragmites. This will be a hands-on activity.
Please dress for the weather, bring a lunch/snack, boots (either hiking or rubber). Work gloves will be provided.
Registration is required for this outing. Please contact Susan O’Connor at smocon9@gmail.com
