 Ground breaking for the construction of Walden Pond(a name that was suggested by a Laurier professor) began this week on the morning of December 03rd. I was extremely excited to see the arrival of the excavator and the bulldozer, but also a little nervous that I was going against my original promise to myself, that I wouldn't alter the land in any drastic way. I do believe a bull dozer and an excavator is rather drastic measure. I do however see the merits in the construction as this is a joint project with funding help through the Brant Resource Stewardship Network, that this will greatly improve the natural environment and help to improve the overall wildlife habitat and diversity. I was only planning on a small pond as the clay was needed for the construction of the grass waterway, but when the guys started digging, this has turned into a 300' long giant. There's no doubt in my mind that this will do wonders for wildlife diversity on the property, I just need to keep all in check to make sure that my once peaceful oasis doesn't turn into a three ring circus.
