Shelter from weather and predators

A great place for wildlifeA deep ravine runs through the FWG from the Amphibian Pond down past the Backyard Garden toward the Rideau Canal. This is a secret and mysterious place that, like a hedgerow, forms a continuous band of dense vegetation that harbours all sorts of wildlife.

Shelter even in winterThe many layers of trees, shrubs, and tangled undergrowth make it a haven for birds. We've even had robins overwinter in this sheltered micro-environment.
