Artificial wood turtle nest site creation in Shewenegan Picnic area
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
A 7.0 x 9.0-metre turtles nesting site will be created on a bank adjacent to Shewenegan Pond. The organic soil present on this surface will be removed using motorized equipment. A geotextile will be put in place once the organic soil is removed to prevent vegetation regrowth. A minimum thickness of 30 cm of sand and gravel with a diameter of less than 20 mm will be added above the geotextile over the entire area to provide a suitable substrate for turtle nesting. The top and bottom of the bank will remain intact for a length of 2m to prevent visitors from accessing the nesting site and to maintain a buffer zone from the wetland. A mini-excavator and a mini tracked-dumper will be used to carry out this work.
