On October 30, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), in partnership with the Niagara Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada, celebrated the completion of the 12 Mile Creek Restoration Project in the Town of Pelham.

This critical initiative focused on remediating a severely eroded section of the creek near Highway 20 and Rice Road and implemented essential erosion control measures to protect the unique habitat of native Brook Trout.

Through the remediation of approximately 115 meters of severely eroded watercourse and improvements to native Brook Trout habitat, this project will extend positive impacts downstream for multiple kilometres, enhancing the range and spawning conditions for this threatened species.

The project stands as a true demonstration of partnership and community collaboration, bringing together multiple stakeholders, including three distinct landowners: Pelham Cares, the Lions Club of Fonthill, and Maxima Holdings.

The restoration was made possible through the financial support of the Government of Canada via the Environmental Damages Fund, as well as Trout Unlimited Canada, the Town of Pelham, and Niagara Region. Additionally, Walker Industries and Lafarge Canada Inc. generously donated the aggregate needed for this project.

Thank you for engaging with us on this important project!
