Grassy Brook Aquatic Rehabilitation Project

Grassy Brook is one of the Welland River tributaries that eventually drains into the Niagara River. This project involved a landowner outreach program that educated the private landowners about the challenges facing this creek, as well as the options available for restoration. A later component was added to this project which included restoring a section of stream through using natural channel design practices.

Funding for this project has been graciously received from The Canada Trust - Friends of the Environment Foundation ($10,000), The City of Niagara Falls ($5,000), EcoAction 2000 ($60,000), and The Ontario Great Lakes Renewal Foundation ($50,000).

The in-kind support for this project has been a vital component. Key partners in the Project team were: Barnes Agriforestry, Niagara College, Land Care Niagara, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, Plantscape Niagara, Royal Botanical Gardens, Ken Glasbergen, Human Resources Development Canada, as well as the countless volunteers who have came out to help with the restoration efforts.
