A big welcome to this newest wetland in Milton. Last year we restored a Sixteen Mile Creek floodplain creating several small pocket wetlands. Only few months under their belt, they are capturing rainfall, cleaning runoff, & providing valuable ecosystem services. @ConservHalton

Restoring a wetland takes time, dedication and leadership. Learn about the story behind a new @ConservHalton restored wetland in this new blog post. @cityofhamilton

Thanks for the @greenbeltca & to the @cityofhamilton for the partnership on this great wetland restoration project. After the successful implementation of 2 phases, we are moving forward for on additional restoration over the next two years for this impactful project.

[Greenbelt Foundation @greenbeltca]

The Greenbelt protects thousands of wetlands, and @ConservHalton is creating more!

The Flamborough Centre Park wetland restoration project has restored a former sports field into a marsh ecosystem with our support.

With less than three percent of native prairie grasslands left in Ontario, the restoration at Glenorchy will help support this rare ecosystem and a diverse range of native plants, birds, mammals and insects, including a number of endangered species. (📷: Falco Precision Services)

Everyday we work to conserve wetlands & floodplains, but also restore them. Since last year we've been planning a project to restore new wetlands in 16 Mile Creek. With community developers, we'll soak up floodwaters,⬆️climate resiliency, +5K trees/shrubs #GenerationRestoration

[Nigel Finney @nigel_finney]

Working with community developers & the @TownOfMiltonON, @ConservHalton was busy building new wetlands in the Sixteen Mile Creek floodplain last year. 2,400+ trees & shrubs were planted and another wetland is in the works to be restored later this year! #climatechange

[Conservation Halton @ConservHalton]

Wetlands provide billions of dollars in value by filtering our sources of drinking water and protecting our communities from flooding, which is why we recently restore a wetland in Flamborough and create a new wetland in Milton). 💦💦 #WorldWetlandDay #GenerationRestoration

Excuse me, but I must depart this video meeting to enjoy this Red Fox on the roof.

Behind these number are many conservation stories & a collective positive impact of all the great work @ConservHalton and its partners did in 2021 🌎

[Conservation Halton @ConservHalton]

We can probably agree that 2021 was a little... um... less than ideal, but here's something to celebrate: Conservation Halton did amazing work for the creeks, streams, wetlands and forests in our communities! 🎉🎉🌲💦 Click for a quick summary of the numbers!

Decisions made today taking into account climate change. #GenerationRestoration

[Conservation Halton @ConservHalton]

When we focus on nature-based solutions and an adaptation-based approach to restoration, we help ensure, as best we can, that there will still be strong, resilient natural areas for the children of tomorrow, even as their world changes around them. 🌿🌳🌳🌍 #GenerationRestoration

Officially kicking off the 2nd phase of our collab wetland restoration project with the @cityofhamilton in Flamborough. This month we’re making a new 2-hectare wetland to help us strengthen climate resiliency. More info: https://t.co/32ojbkVv5P

[Nigel Finney @nigel_finney]

Earlier this spring, staff & volunteers restored the banks of Sixteen Mile Creek in the Greenbelt - further protecting our streams and wetlands. @ConservHalton #2billionTrees

[Natural Resources @NRCan]

Natural climate solutions, like planting trees, remove and store carbon from the atmosphere while providing Canadians with better air and water quality. We’re helping @ConservHalton plant 50,000 trees across the region.
