Baden Powell Park Ecosystem Enhancement Project

Located in the city of Niagara Falls, the Baden Powell Park project began in April of 1998. This project was the first large-scale project the Niagara Restoration Council (NRC) completed (2000).

The project included the enhancement and creation of four different plant communities: oak savannah, woodland, meadow, and prairie ecosystems.

This project was funded almost equally between cash donations and in-kind services. The total cost was $300,000..Environment Canada's EcoAction 2000 Community Funding Program contributed an outstanding $100,000.

The in-kind support for this project was a vital component. Key members of the Project team were: Niagara College, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, Plantscape Niagara, Land Care Niagara, City of Niagara Falls and the many volunteers who came out to help.
