Naturalization at Mundy Pond
Consultation has concluded
The City of St. John’s Naturalization program received federal and provincial cost-shared funding to address climate change and its impacts in our community. The goal of a naturalization program is to restore, protect, and enhance areas, features, and ecosystems of the natural environment within the City. This program will create 11.4 hectares of additional natural zones within municipally owned land in the City of St. John's.
Naturalization means restoring areas to more natural conditions using trees that are native to the area; these invite additional shrubs and flowering plants to repopulate these areas. Natural areas in the era of climate change are our buffer, which will protect us from changes in climate and invasive species.
