Trailblazing the Niagara Glen!
Volunteers Needed to Help Protect the Niagara Glen
Experience the Niagara River and help the Niagara Parks Commission and Ontario Nature mark hiking trails, update interpretive signage and close unsanctioned spur trails throughout the spectacular Niagara Glen Nature Reserve, a Carolinian forest that contains one of the largest concentrations of species-at-risk found anywhere in Canada. Your work will encourage others to tread lightly, taking only photographs and leaving only footprints. To lend a hand with preserving this special place, please register online at www.ontarionature.org/action. We look forward to seeing you this September!
