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.

Have you see this before? These are mating slugs! Have you see this before? These are mating slugs! Slugs are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive parts. They are able to fertilize another slug and lay their own eggs during at the same time. That little marble looking thing in the middle of these two slugs is actually the male parts intertwined. A few days after their romance has ended, they will both lay their eggs in a sheltered, moist area and the life cycle continues! 🐌 #whatsthat #whatsthatwednesday #wednesday #nature #nightlife #slugs #lifecycle #life #gastropod #gastropoda #courtship #romance #love #wildlife #wildlifewednesday

#WhatsThatWednesday This is the Asian-longhorned b #WhatsThatWednesday This is the Asian-longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), an invasive species in Canada. This beetle attacks mainly maple trees, but will also attack other native tree species including poplar, willow, birch and elm. Adult females will chew through the bark and branches of host trees to deposit their eggs. Larvae will then feed on the nutrient rich layers under the bark, inhibiting the movement of nutrients and water, eventually killing the tree. Adults emerge from tree trunks by chewing their way through bark and branches leaving behind large round holes - a distinctive characteristic of infected trees. Other symptoms to watch out for include leaking sap, yellowing leaves, premature leaf drop and branch dieback. The damage caused by these insects could have large devastating impacts on the ecology of our hardwood forests and the economy of Canada, by negatively affecting the maple-syrup, forestry, and tourism industries.

Did you know that local migratory bats survive the Did you know that local migratory bats survive the long winters by relying on fat stores they've built up during the Spring & Summer? To conserve energy they huddle together and drop their body temperatures from 36 ℃ to 3-4 ℃ during hibernation! Periodically, they wake up to pee and drink water, however, the amount of energy it takes to warm themselves up for this is equivalent to 30 - 40 days of hibernation! That’s why it’s important not to disturb hibernating bats, because if they are woken up too often then they won’t have enough energy to sustain them until Spring! If you have bats on your property, contact us to learn how you become a bat ambassador to help save surviving populations!

Sound on! The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus Sound on! The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a massive raptor with a large, dark wingspan of nearly 2 metres, an iconic white head and tail feathers, and a bright yellow hooked beak. Juveniles have brown mottled plumage and do not grow white head feathers until they are approximately 5 years old! Despite their intimidating appearance, bald eagles are better scavengers than hunters. They are known to bully and steal fresh kills from other raptors. They eat mainly fish, but will also opportunistically eat mammals and other birds. Because of their diet, bald eagles prefer shoreline habitat. Bald eagles are found throughout North America. There were historical populations of bald eagles in Southern Ontario until they were extirpated 50 years ago due to the use of DDT, which weakened their eggshells. After the DDT ban, extensive reintroduction programs, and environmental clean-ups, bald eagles have returned to Southern Ontario and sightings are becoming more frequent! The species is categorized as “special concern” because it is still threatened by shoreline habitat loss and pollution.
Late-blooming plants provide the necessary fuel fo Late-blooming plants provide the necessary fuel for migrating pollinator species, like the Ruby-throated hummingbird and the Monarch butterfly, as well as hibernating pollinator species, like sweat bees and bumblebees. Support our native pollinators by planting these late-blooming native plant species in your garden: 🌸 Canada Goldenrod (Solidago. canadensis), 🌸 New England asters (Aster novae-angliae), 🌸 Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata), 🌸 Leafcups (Polymnia canadensis). You will also benefit from their presence in your garden, as they provide beauty and color well into autumn! Don't forget to tag us in your pollinator garden posts!
