Enhancement of an Urban Wetland, Lundrigan's Marsh

Lundrigan’s Marsh is a unique 32 hectare cattail marsh, with approximately 23 under a Habitat Stewardship Agreement, situated in an industrial/commercial area of St. John’s NL. Lundrigan’s Marsh is an urban wetland as part of the Virginia River system and habitat for unusual bird sightings. Northeast Avalon ACAP has undertaken data collection to assess wetland function, water and soil quality, and characterization of plant and wildlife. Through the Friends of the Marsh initiative, NAACAP aims to raise awareness of the wetland and restore vegetative buffers with the support of business and community partners. Project funding is from Department of Environment and Climate Change, National Wetland Conservation Fund.
