About Us

Our Vision

Land Care Niagara (LCN) is committed to creating a healthy and sustainable rural and urban environment, consisting of citizens who are knowledgeable and active in land resource management.

As a not-for-profit community-based organization we seek to provide services and information to rural landowners and other users of private and public lands in Niagara through educational outreach, training initiatives, and land stewardship activities.

Our Mission

To enhance Niagara naturally by promoting and enhance responsible land use practices and cooperation through:

  1. Education and Awareness
    • Increase environmental knowledge and understanding of adults and youth to foster sustainable communities in Niagara
  2. Stewardship and Restoration
    • Provide programs and conduct projects that support a healthy rural and urban environment in Niagara
  3. Partnerships and Community Involvement
    • Make measurable environmental improvements in Niagara through strategic partnerships and build the effectiveness of other community organizations

Our Team

Environment and Tree Protection Land Care NiagaraLCN is one of the original 46 Stewardship Councils throughout Ontario that was formed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Ontario Stewardship Network. There are now only 14 councils remaining since the funding to the Ontario Stewardship Network was discontinued. Other Stewardship Groups have been able to continue to thrive from dedicated volunteer council members.

Members share an interest in conservation, land stewardship, and a genuine respect for land ownership. Council Members bring with them diverse backgrounds and perspectives to help identify stewardship issues of importance to the community. Members listen to other viewpoints, work in the community to pool available resources, and collectively arrive at practical and workable solutions.

Land Care Niagara is a program of the Niagara Community Land Stewardship Council. Council members are volunteers and firmly believe in promoting the merits of responsible land management while respecting the rights of landowners. Selected by a community founding committee, members represent the diverse values the citizens of Niagara place on their land.
