Restoration of Hutton Marsh

RVCA has partnered with Ducks Unlimited, Wildlife Habitat Canada, RVCF and local landowners to restore the marsh at Motts Mills to a more natural state. The wetland had become choked and crowded, with almost no open water to support waterfowl or other open water species. Three phases of work since 2019 have now opened up several acres of ponds and more than a kilometre of open-water channels to encourage increased biodiversity in the marsh.
