The Town of Fort Erie has bought 6.57 hectares of land near Shagbark Nature Park
The Town of Fort Erie has purchased 6.57 hectares of vacant land for natural heritage preservation.
The land is located on Prospect Point Road North, and is adjacent to Shagbark Nature Park.
The Town says the property will be protected by the Town and the Bert Miller Nature Club.
The long-term goal is to preserve and maintain the existing maple/beech forest and rehabilitate surrounding lands.
"This is an excellent example of Town Council demonstrating its commitment to responsibly manage growth while preserving the natural heritage that Fort Erie is blessed with" says Mayor Wayne Redekop. "Our ongoing partnership with The Bert Miller Nature Club will allow this large wooded area, full of important tree species, vegetation, and wildlife, to be seamlessly integrated into the ecosystem of Shagbark Nature Park. Our relationship with community organizations such as the Bert Miller Nature Club as stewards of the land is vital to provide residents with access to enjoy naturally significant lands throughout Fort Erie."
