Located in the Town of Grimsby, Beamer Memorial was acquired by NPCA in the late 1960s for escarpment protection and nature study.
Beamer Memorial is 63 hectares in size and offers breathtaking, panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario.
The conservation area is popular for observing the annual spring hawk migration as they pass over the Niagara Peninsula watershed.
The development of the updated management plan for Beamer Memorial Conservation Area is guided by NPCA’s Conservation Areas Strategy, with a strong focus on collaboration and community engagement.
Throughout the planning process, we are committed to working closely with community partners and members to ensure that the vision and objectives of the plan reflect the current priorities, environmental pressures, protection of unique natural heritage, and needs of the community.
This approach will shape the plan’s direction and ensure that decisions made are informed by diverse perspectives.
Due to the sensitive environment of the escarpment, the updated management plan will include natural heritage enhancements, biodiversity protection, and will guide capital investments to improve visitor experience and long-term sustainability of the conservation area.
