Volunteers mulched in October 2021 to give the new plantings at King and John Streets a chance to get established. This followed marathon weeding sessions in mid-August and mid-September to remove invasive weeds and aggressive grasses.
In October 2020, volunteers had planted 450 native plants and shrubs as a riparian planting along One Mile Creek. An assessment this summer by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority that there was a 90% survival rate for the plantings – better than the 70% target.
