12-Mile Creek Restoration Project
About the project
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) and Trout Unlimited Canada have partnered to complete a restoration project on 12-Mile Creek in the Town of Pelham.
Focused on erosion control and remediation, the project aims to protect this unique ecosystem from the threats of urbanization and habitat loss.
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.
As part of our long-term strategy, NPCA plans to engage in reforestation efforts post-construction. This will not only replace the vegetation removed but also enhance the overall biodiversity and resilience of the area, ensuring it remains a vibrant natural space.
This project was undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Environmental Damages Fund, as well as Trout Unlimited Canada, the Town of Pelham, and Niagara Region. Walker Industries and Lafarge Canada Inc. have also donated aggregate necessary for this project.
We encourage you to continue checking back for updates on this project.
