This program builds and expands upon the past and current work of Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority’s (NPCA) restoration and stewardship programs and initiatives, formalizes programming for emerging partnerships and opportunities, and meets the internal needs of integrating knowledge and building organizational capacity.
The program identifies six program and service areas based on distinct audiences, funding mechanisms, and outcomes to work in complement with each other to achieve program goals: restoration on CA-managed lands, large-scale restoration with municipal and private landowners, agricultural stewardship, urban stewardship, and corporate stewardship. The program aims to restore and enhance natural habitat, biodiversity, water resources, and forest cover towards a healthy and climate resilient watershed, and engage and enable communities in improving the health and resilience of the watershed.
