Grimesthorpe Creek

Picture
Riparian/Canopy Planting & Installment of a Remote Water Device

Due to approval of late funding, Manitoulin Streams used CFWIP funds for a Frifty Frostfree Nosepump and a cement pad  to reduce ground water contamination along Grimesthorpe Creek.  Fencing and tree planting was covered with other funds at this site.




​

Work completed:
  • 1745 trees planted
  • 1896 m2 of shoreline & wetland protected, stabilized improved and/or retired from agricultural use
  • 100 (m) of cedar rail fencing installed
  • 94 (m) stream length buffered and restored
  • Frostfree nosepump installed with cement pad

This project had 7 volunteers from the Board of Directors of Manitoulin Streams participate in planning and actively volunteering at rehabilitation sites. The total number of hours volunteered for this site is 51.4.  Ontario Rangers had 2 leaders and 12 rangers help out with building a 100m cedar rail a total of  231hrs of labour.

The 3 landowners contributed 7 hrs of attending meetings, researching on internet to determine the best watering device and driving to Gore Bay to pick up the nose pump 60.8 km,  used their chainsaw to help cut upright posts for the fencing, spent 1 hr using his tractor to transport the rails to the site (3 hrs), preparing the site with the tractor, provided 46 cedar rail posts, used sand from pit on the farm to put under the cement pad, provided 2” styrofoam for insulation under the concrete, spent 2.5 hours pouring pad and assessabling frost free nose pump and cement pad.  Total of 3 volunteers contributed13.5hrs  and contributed in-kind support in regards to materials and tractor use.

Funding contributions toward the construction of the project include Community Fisheries & Wildlife Involvement Program (CFWIP).  National Turkey Federation donted for tree planting.  Manitoulin Streams provided rails, tree planting and fittings for a nose pump.
