Community Programs

Technical & Financial Support – Can We Help You?

Annually, Land Care Niagara’s community programs serve various clients such as private landowners, municipal governments, private companies, community groups and other local not-for profit organizations. Many calls are dealt with directly by LCN through information packages and discussions with landowners and agencies, but some calls are referred directly to experts within and outside the Niagara Region.

At LCN we have access various agencies and organizations involved in land, natural resources and the environment in Ontario. This includes access to specific programs, contact names and technical information these groups may have or currently offer.

Land Care Niagara financially supports action-oriented projects that promote wise land management in Niagara. This includes funding for plant material for properties that support the Niagara Natural Heritage Corridor program. For more information and an application package or future partnership opportunities please contact us.

Envirothon Scholarship

The Canon Envirothon is North America’s largest high school environmental education competition.

This unique program reaches more than 500,000 students across North America annually. Since 2008, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority in partnership with local environmental organizations has offered this program to high-school students throughout Niagara!

Since 2011 Land Care Niagara had offered a scholarship to a grade twelve student who resides in the Niagara Region, was an active member of their school’s Niagara Envirothon team and continuing their post-secondary education in a college or university environmental program. 2017 was LCN’s final year for offering this scholarship.

For more information about the Niagara Envirothon program contact Kerry Royer at kroyer@npca.ca.

Hooked On Fishing

Life is full of distractions that prevent families from spending quality time together. This can lead to the use and abuse of illicit drugs. As a parent, adult, Big Brother or Big Sister and a society we must take an active role in our children’s behavior.

Community ProgramsFishing provides an opportunity to spend quality time with a child, to help a child develop the life skills necessary to say no, and to help instill family values.

There are many benefits to a day of fishing. Here are a few comments from children and teens about the excitement of fishing as found in

“Why are Teens Getting Hooked on Fishing not on Drugs”, Future Fisherman Foundation:

  • It gives us a time and place to think things out.
  • It’s a fun activity that we can share with our friends and even with our families.
  • It helps us reduce stress that builds up in our lives.
  • It’s something we can even do alone without feeling lonely.
  • It provides us an opportunity to work out problems or to just talk about anything we want with friends or family.
  • It’s less costly than drugs.
  • It offers us a challenge and prestige among our peers.

You say you don’t know how to fish or have any equipment? Don’t worry – our fishing events have instructors to assist you, instructional material you can take home and we will even provide the equipment including lifejackets if required. For organizations such as the Scouts, Big Brother and Big Sisters we can help organize special events.
