THE NIAGARA RIVER GREENWAY
The Niagara River Greenway Staff and Commissioners work to fulfill the Niagara River Greenway Plan through review of proposed projects, stewardship programs, community events, collaboration with municipalities and organizational partners. Our goal is to create a world class trail and greenspace network within the Niagara River corridor that communities can be proud of and cherish for generations to come.

Freedom Park Gardening Series
We kicked off our spring/summer gardening series at Freedom Park on April 19th with an inspiring group of expert gardeners, landscapers, and passionate community members. Volunteers from Friends of Freedom Park, Vision Niagara, Urban Roots, and the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens are collaborating on a garden design plan to revitalize and reimagine the space. Thanks to their hard work, the park is already looking beautiful—and this is just the beginning!
Next Volunteer Planting Day: May 31st – We’ll be planting hardy native perennials, and the event is open to all.

Rotary Clubs & Greenway: Adopt-a-Trail Earth Day Cleanups
In celebration of Earth Day, nine Rotary Clubs joined forces to clean up their adopted sections of the Shoreline Trail as part of our Greenway Adopt-a-Trail program. Altogether, 13 shoreline cleanups took place in April, including student-led efforts from KenTon and Nichols School, who tackled litter at Aqua Lane Park and parts of the Shoreline Trail near Freedom Park. These cleanups help protect our waterways and keep our public spaces clean and welcoming. Huge thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who showed up with energy and determination!
