The Four Mile Creek Integrated Watershed Management Plan will take a holistic, watersed-based approach to help focus on priorities, align strategies, and guide actions toward smarter, science-based decisions that ensure a long-term healthy and climate resilient watershed.
The project will focus on improving watershed management by first understanding the current state of the watershed and identifying any missing information. We will update floodplain maps with the latest data to ensure accuracy. Technical studies will be done to check the health of both water and land ecosystems, focusing on issues like erosion and water quality. The project will also review current and future land use with the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL), considering how growth might affect the watershed. Climate change will be factored into the planning process, using tools to assess risks and benefits. Finally, we’ll ensure community members, including residents and landowners, are involved throughout the project with an ongoing engagement plan.
