Beyond Love Canal: Stewardship, Restoration, and Caring for Waterways in Niagara Falls (Hybrid) In-Person / Online
This presentation explores how Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper works in partnership with the City of Niagara Falls to steward waterways in a community shaped by a complex environmental past. While Love Canal remains an important chapter in the city’s history, Niagara Falls continues to move forward through long-term restoration and community-centered care for its natural resources.
Using current work in Hyde Park, along Gill Creek, and across City parks, BNW will share how restoration design, water quality monitoring, public communication, and youth engagement support public health, safe access, and renewed relationships with land and water. The presentation highlights the importance of sustained presence, collaboration, and trust-building in caring for places that hold both environmental memory and opportunity for renewal.
