Working to restore
Roszell Pit’s 1.5-hectare rehabilitation project focused on restoring its Pond 2 shoreline and the silt barrier portion of the site’s setback area into a naturalized space. In 2017, crews reconstructed the silt barrier by excavating the site to bedrock and filling the trench with 6,000 cubic metres of silt material. The area was then left to settle for a season before the excavation of Pond 2’s western and southern limits began in 2019.
Thriving Growth
In the spring of 2020, Pond 2’s western shoreline was contoured and seeded with a 90kg grass legume mix. Approximately 15,000 cubic metres of material was moved to complete the final shaping. Native conifers were then planted at a density of 2,000 stems per hectare (1,000 trees), and portions of the shoreline areas were live staked with native willow cuttings. At last report, the new rehabilitated trees were thriving.
