Greenbelt 綠化帶
著名的加拿大首都绿带 - Greenbelt (National Capital Commission Greenbelt), 始建于1956年,203.5 平方公里。绿带里面由绿地,树林,农场,湿地,还有溪流。绿带和渥太华河一起把渥太华市中心包围在其中,绿带内的地产开发受到严格控制,所以地产开发都是在绿带以外了。
绿带内由东到西的景点:
- Green's Creek Conservation Area – a nature reserve of a small tributary of the Ottawa River, cutting through a lush clay valley.
- Hornets Nest soccer fields – 11 soccer fields and an air-supported dome for indoor soccer.
- Pine View Golf Course – 36-hole public golf course
- Mer Bleue Conservation Area – 33 km2 (13 sq mi) sphagnum peat bog. There are some 20 km (12 mi) of walking trails, including a 1.2 km (0.75 mi) boardwalk, through a remarkable boreal-like ecosystem normally not found this far south. Stunted black spruce, tamarack, together with bog rosemary, blueberry, and cottongrass, are some of the unusual species that have adapted to the acidic waters of the bog. The Mer Bleue bog (French for Blue Sea) got its name from the autumn morning fogs that make it appear as a blue sea.
