It's called one of Woodstock's "natural treasures." And it looks like City Council is ready to invest some treasure into the Brick Ponds. The Woodstock Environmental Advisory Committee and the Upper Thames Conservation Authority are suggesting the city grade one of the shore lines, and do some more planting of natural species. WEAC member and city councillor Jim Northcott says it's in an effort to re-launch education programs. "It's something that's there and you drive by and you see it, but most people don't know the importance of it. You start educating students in Grade 3 and it's exciting for them and you hope it's something that will stay with them," said Northcott. The city has $47,000 earmarked for Brick Pond development that's been sitting idle in a reserve fund since 1993.
