Raven's nest inactive; more trees to be cleared
T
he trees on the northeast corner of the Mills Memorial Hospital site, the corner of Tetrault Street and Keith Avenue, will be cleared today and tomorrow, June 10 and 11.
Most trees on the site have already been cleared to prepare for the construction of a new hospital, but this patch, behind the Seven Sisters facility, was left to protect a raven who had nested there.
A sweep this morning by Triton Environmental Consultants, however, said the area is now "inactive", and that "no other bird nests or nesting behaviour were observed during the survey."
One woodpecker nest remains on the site, in the Northeast corner, in a patch of trees that will also need to be cleared once the nest is inactive.
A Northern Flicker also has a nest in a row of trees between Tetrault Street and the Mills Memorial hospital parking lot.
Work continues in the exciting anticipation of the construction of a new hospital starting soon.
