Future Forest Tree Planting Program

This project involved the planting of over 8000 native trees on conservation lands located within the Niagara Region. In joint partnership with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), a long-term goal of having an annual tree-planting program managed by NRC has been envisioned, as is off to a very successful start. A second component was added to this program that included teaching students at Niagara College bioengineering tools to help stabilized eroding stream banks.

Funding for this project is being graciously donated from Environment Canada's EcoAction Community Funding Program ($36,000) and Ontario Power Generation ($850).

The in-kind support for this project was, and continues to be, a vital component. Key members of the Project team are: The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, Glanbrook Conservation Committee, Fort Erie Secondary School, Fort Erie Conservation Club, Bert Miller Nature Club, and of course the many volunteers who have come out, and will hopefully continue to join us with this project.
