LCN now has a pollinator garden in our ReLeaf nursery, with 12 native species so far! These gardens support pollinator populations of 🐦, 🐝, 🦋 and 🪲 by providing food and habitat. By creating this space, these keystone species have a spot to refuel & rest before heading off for more pollination.
It’s always inspiring to see the diverse and innovative pathways to sustainability right here in the Niagara Region! 🌎🌱

A big thank you to the Walker team for the engaging conversations and informative tour last Friday. We learned so much about the site’s operations, from composting & resource recovery to agricultural rehabilitation, and how these efforts contribute to conversation around long-term sustainability! 🌎🌱

Are you planning an eco-friendly garden for 2026? Did you know you can start this Fall? Fall is a perfect time to plant your native wildflower seeds. By sowing prior to the first frost and before the ground freezes, your seeds will naturally stratify over winter and be ready to sprout in the spring!
A 2nd Motus tower has gone up at the Fort Erie Wastewater Station! This tower was installed last month as part of a regional collaboration w/ @myotistar and generously funded by @birdscanada. Thank you to @NiagaraRegion for hosting this new Motus tracking tower!🦇 #niagara #conservation #motustowers
Thank you to @bertieboatingclub for hosting a new Motus wildlife tracking tower! This is 1 of 3 towers installed in Niagara, in partnership w/ @myotistar & supported by @birdscanada. These towers can track various winged species, giving insight into migration & habitat use. Data is public- motus.org
I guess our native tree nursery isn’t just home to trees…💚 #monarch #monarchbutterfly #milkweed #speciesatrisk #niagaranature
If you would like to join our last nursery maintenance day of the summer on August 30th (9AM-12PM), send us a DM or email [email protected] to sign up. All volunteers will receive a native pollinator plant! Hope to see you there! 🌳🌼
Thank you to all the volunteers that came out to our nursery maintenance day on July 26th! You all made a huge difference as now our trees can receive full sunlight again, and don’t worry there is still plenty of milkweed for the monarchs!🌳👏

Our Niagara Glen Bat Night was an exciting evening, with 30 big brown bats caught, multiple mist and harp nets deployed and plenty of hands-on learning for our incredible volunteers. We had some amazing (and very "batty") conversations about the important role bats play in our local ecosystems.
