Projets « Outardes Est » et « Habitons nos étangs »
What is it?
Between 2003 and 2019, OBV SCABRIC carried out a large-scale project in the Rivière aux Outardes watershed. This watershed includes part of the municipalities of Havelock, Hinchinbrooke, Franklin and Ormstown. Within the framework of this project, the OBV SCABRIC met with landowners until 2018 to provide them with a personalized workbook including suggestions for actions to improve the habitats of species at risk. Over the years, the project has received financial support from the Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk of Environment and Climate Change Canada and from the Fondation de la Faune. In addition, many partners contribute their expertise to the project.
In 2018, OBV SCABRIC decided to go one step further in supporting landowners participating in the project. We studied the suggested actions and the improvement ideas of the owners before choosing a concrete and welcomed action. This action created wildlife habitats near a pond and along a stream on a farm property in Ormstown.
What do we do?
Landscaping was closely chosen with the owners to benefit species already present and beneficial to their crops. For example, we planted shrubs around the pond for ducks, a heated nesting box for building-nesting bats, an adapted nesting box for barn swallows, and trees and shrubs along the watercourse for several aquatic species such as the Channel Darter, tree swallows with nest boxes that can also be used by other species such as eastern bluebirds and, finally, certain insects such as bees by planting wildflower seeds.
