Environmental Land Management Plan

The Niagara Parks Commission has a mandated duty to protect, enhance and manage both cultivated and environmentally sensitive lands along the Niagara River corridor. The Park was created in 1885 by an Act of the Provincial Parliament of Ontario, to preserve and enhance lands adjacent to Niagara Falls. From its beginning with a small parcel of land at Niagara Falls, the Park has grown to a comprehensive system of more than 1325 hectares (over 3274 acres) along 56 kilometers (35 miles) of the Canadian side of the Niagara River.

This "ribbon of green" contains many jewels such as the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, old growth forest, sensitive riparian habitat and culturally significant heritage gardens. Niagara Parks is proud of recent partnerships which have fostered the development of "The Environmental Land Management Plan", a botanical inventory of the Niagara River corridor as well as a vibrant ecological restoration program supporting these lands.
