ROXHILL PARK
WETLAND RESTORATION

Roxhill Park, the headwaters of Longfellow Creek, is in the midst of an incredible rebirth. This restoration project involves removing fill that has covered a unique peat bog for the past forty years. The community-initiated planting of this area will help restore a natural habitat and create a new educational resource. Instead of soggy grass, the park will become a place for people to go for relaxing walks, enhance their bird-watching skills, or just sit on a bench and enjoy the scenery.
