Tree Planting

Two programs offered to increase the native biodiversity and resilience of Niagara’s trees; Rural Tree Planting Program to increase woodland habitat and our Urban ‘Re-leaf’ Tree Program to increase the urban canopy of our cities.

Species At Risk

A “species at risk” is any naturally-occurring plant or animal in danger of extinction or of disappearing from the province. Find out more on the species at risk in Niagara and what you can do to help.

Woodworking For Nature

In today’s world youth rarely get the opportunity to work hands on with tools, wood and their own creativity. This program enables youth to connect these skills by creating habitat structures for wildlife.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Land Care Niagara is a not-for-profit organization run by donations and successful funding grants. The majority of LCN activities require additional funding from individuals, foundations, private business and corporations.

Happy #TriviaThursday! Do you know which of these Happy #TriviaThursday! Do you know which of these statements about Groundhogs is FALSE? The correct answer is A!

Did you know that bobolinks are a species-at-risk Did you know that bobolinks are a species-at-risk and classified as threatened in Ontario? Bobolinks the same size as red-winged blackbirds. Males have black heads and beaks, distinct yellow napes, and a white back and rump while females are a warm light brown with overall streaked feathers and pink bills. Bobolinks live and breed in tall grasslands, pastures, farmfields, and prairies. Due to the loss of natural grassland habitat and changes in land use and farming practices, bobolink populations have drastically declined over the past 30 years with an annual decline rate of 4%. Private landowner stewardship is key to protecting bobolink habitat! Have you seen a bobolink before? Let us know in the comments!

Happy Friday! Fun Fact of the day - Did you know c Happy Friday! Fun Fact of the day - Did you know cave-roosting bats are considered to be keystone species? A keystone species is a species that plays a vital role in keeping an ecosystem healthy and stable, and if removed, would change the ecosystem drastically. Bat guano (poop!) serves as a vital nutrient for microorganisms and invertebrates in caves, which in turn are food for fish, amphibians, and mammals. Their loss can therefore have significant impacts on food chains!
Sound on! The American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) Sound on! The American Goldfinch (Spinus tristis) is a small, migratory bird in the finch family. They breed in the United States and Canada in the summer and overwinter as far south as the American-Mexican border. Finches have identifiable conical-shaped beaks & males are more vibrant than females. American goldfinches are granivores, meaning they mostly forage for seeds, but will also eat some insects in the summer. Unlike other birds, American goldfinches wait until late June or July to breed because many plants have not formed seeds until this time. They use fibrous seeds to feed their young and add to their nests! Goldfinches are common throughout the Niagara Region and can be found in open fields, parks, and suburbs!
