Friends of the Coves Subwatershed Inc. The Coves is a hidden treasure in the heart of the City of London. http://www.thecoves.ca/index.php

The Coves is named for a series of three ponds that once formed a meander of the Thames River. The Coves Sub-watershed is a 710-hectare area in South west London. It is just one of many sub-watersheds that make up the greater Thames River Watershed. Within the Coves Sub-watershed, all of the water that falls to the ground, as precipitation or otherwise, drains to the Coves lowlands where natural r

avines, ponds, wetlands and floodplains are found. The Coves lowlands and adjacent upland woods are designated as the Coves Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) by the City of London for the high diversity of reptiles, amphibians, birds and plant species found there. The Coves lowlands also make up the most distinct oxbow formation within the City of London.

Did you know? More than 1 billion birds in the U.S. are killed from collisions with windows every year and nearly half of all collisions occur at residential buildings. Making your windows more visible to birds is one of the most effective ways to protect birds at your home year-round. Fortunately, a range of affordable and evidence-based collision deterrents are available for residents just like you!
