Rural Tree Planting Program

LCN is the local delivery agent for Forests Ontario’s 50 Million Tree Program for the Niagara Region. By partnering with private contractors, other funder’s and agencies, Land Care Niagara works with rural landowners to promote and execute successful tree planting projects that increase forest interior and reconnect our fragmented natural areas.

The Niagara Natural Heritage Ecological Framework (NNHEF) will see hundreds of thousands of native trees strategically planted in the Niagara Region. Planting areas are based on the Natural Heritage Ecological Framework map (click here to see map) produced in 1998. Utilizing leading-edge landscape ecology principals, satellite imagery, Geographic Information Systems, and the habitat spatial model the framework was developed in conjunction with Ontario Power Services, local ecologists, naturalists and foresters. The framework document and its recommendations deal with the issues of forest fragmentation, loss of forest cover, wildlife habitat and bio-diversity in the Niagara Region. If your property falls within the framework areas you may receive priority in our selection process. By targeting our conservation efforts to increase forest interior and reconnect our fragmented natural areas we contribute to a healthier Niagara and help secure a legacy for our children and future generations. Full report for more information found here.

In 2000, Land Care Niagara took a major step forward in implementing the framework. With inital funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and on-going support from landowners and various environmental groups we have planted over 1.5 million native trees and shrubs in a focused manner directed towards the protection and enhancement of Niagara’s natural resources.

It can be difficult to tell how many eggs a female It can be difficult to tell how many eggs a female monarch butterfly lays in the wild.  The average is probably somewhere between 100 and 300 eggs.  Studies of captive female monarchs have of about 700 eggs per female over two to five weeks of egg laying! Wow!  That's egg-citing!
