This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to create a healthier urban environment by planting trees and fostering sustainability within our community. Our mini forest will provide many benefits, such as reducing the urban heat island effect, enhancing local biodiversity, improving stormwater management, mitigating flood risks, improving air quality, and elevating the physical and mental well-being of the Town of Lincoln’s residents and visitors.
This project is a collaboration between the Town of Lincoln and Ontariogreen, and was made possible by support from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), funding from the Niagara Community Foundation (NCF), Trees for Life, and the Greenbelt Foundation through the Living Cities Canada Find, a program of Green Communities Canada.
Note: High school students participating in this Mini Forest Community Planting will be eligible to receive volunteer hour credits towards their community service requirements.
