Over the past 4 years the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, in collaboration with the Region of Niagara, the Peninsula Field Naturalists and others, has been working on a Natural Areas Inventory. The purpose of the project is to provide up-to-date natural areas information that will be of tremendous benefit in the development of greater environmental awareness within the community and, as a scientifically-defensible baseline for use in planning decisions and policy development.  It has built on existing information, confirmed the significance of known sites, and filled information gaps where inventory work was outdated or lacking.

The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority’s watershed supports a rich diversity of natural features including significant habitats and geological formations, rare plants and animals, and important wildlife corridors.
