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.

It’s another #treetrivia Thursday! Do you know It’s another #treetrivia Thursday! Do you know which native Ontario tree species this is?🌳 Hint: At one time, this tree commonly lived to be over 200 years old. However, due to an invasive fungal pathogen, it now rarely lives beyond 30 years.
This Wildlife Wednesday we look at some special vi This Wildlife Wednesday we look at some special visitors at the Releaf Nursery at Vineland Station. Slide 1: Baby American Toad. Slide 2: Adult American Toad. American Toads eat insects and other creatures that live in soil such as worms and slugs, which could explain why we see so many at the nursery! Slide 3: Eastern Cottontail Rabbit. Rabbits in general prefer to hide from predators and rarely make open spaces their habitat, so this one was just passing through and we were lucky to see it! Slide 4: Black Mink. Minks are known to burrow and create dens and we have seen this little guy digging tunnels under our trees and polyhouse.

It's Snake Sunday! Today we look at the Butler’ It's Snake Sunday! Today we look at the Butler’s Gartersnake. In Ontario, it’s classified as Endangered, meaning that while it lives in the wild, it is threatened with extinction. The Butler’s Gartersnake is non-venomous, with a small head and yellow/orange stripes running down its body, and is found in the lower Great Lakes region. It is threatened by habitat loss due to urbanization and development.
Did you know that skunks can spray up to 6x in a r Did you know that skunks can spray up to 6x in a row before their tank is empty? These animals only use this defense as a last resort since it can take up 2 weeks for their glands to refill! #funfactfriday

Come visit us and learn more about our current programs, and support us by purchasing our new wildflower pollinator balls, and trees we've grown at our native tree nursery! Or just come say hi!

We’ve been so busy this field season that we hav We’ve been so busy this field season that we haven’t had time to update everyone on all the exciting things we have been up to! LCN attended the Mother Earth Day event hosted by the City of Niagara Falls on June 11 and it was a great success! We planted 40 large native trees in Fireman’s Park with the help of volunteers. We also debuted our new pollinator seed balls and they were a massive hit! Purchase your own by visiting our online store today or the Welland Market on August 6!
On today's Species Spotlight we look at the Oyster On today's Species Spotlight we look at the Oyster Mushroom. You can find these edible mushrooms in your local grocery store but they are also abundant in the wild of Canada, mostly in the province of Alberta. In addition to being a favoriate of ours, they are also a source of food and habitat for other mammals and insects, including springtails, turtles, fungus gnats, squirrels and white-tailed deer! You can grow these at home with many growing kits being offered online! They are mostly found growing together on a log, which is what is mimicked in these kits.
Did you know that most lipstick contains fish scal Did you know that most lipstick contains fish scales? Fish scales contain a material called Pearlessence. This material catches and reflects light, making your lips appear shiny and glimmery when you wear lipstick. Pearlessence is primarily derived from the Clupea harengus, a small shiny fish more commonly known as herring!
Ever heard of the term "Ghost Gear"? Ghost gear r Ever heard of the term "Ghost Gear"? Ghost gear refers to fishing nets and traps that have fallen or been left behind in the water. It can be very hazardous to aquatic life and the environment by unintentionally trapping and killing animals such as fish, turtles, birds and marine mammals. Ghost gear can take hundreds of years to decompose before turning into microplastics - another serious issue! Help reduce the amount of ghost gear in our waters by; - Being careful when fishing to avoid losing gear - Returning worn-out gear so it can be repurposed - Reporting lost fishing gear and retrieving it when possible!
