The site of the former Pickard Quarry in Sackville has evolved from industrial glory to a nature park and wetland area that is becoming a must-visit site for Sackville, similar to the Sackville Waterfowl Park, but with rolling wooded slopes and low rocky cliffs surrounding two quarry ponds. These varied habitats have attracted many bird species and other wildlife, as well as a diverse flora with native and non-native species.
