This is an ecological restoration project aimed at restoring 10.6 kilometers of aquatic, riparian and floodplain habitat along a tributary of Coyle Creek in Pelham. The fulfillment of the project goals will bring increased environmental awareness to the local community, and the corridor created will benefit fish, wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole.

Project goals are achieved through the creation of individual landowner projects, where the landowner will participate in both the planning and implementation stages of restoration to their land. Some financial assistance is available to landowners wanting to manage their land in an ecologically responsible manner.

Funding for this program has been obtained from EcoAction 2000, Shell Canada Environmental Fund, Ontario Stewardship Program, Land Care Niagara and The Great Lakes Clean-up Foundation as a funder.
