This Fall Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper will be removing invasive plant species to protect our restoration project at one of the Riverbend sites. In an effort to make this section of Buffalo River shoreline a healthier, and more diverse environment, we will be removing invasive plants like knapweed, mugwort and nuisance weeds such as burdock. By maintaining a healthy "living shoreline", the water quality of the river is protected, fish and wildlife habitats are improved, and erosion is slowed.
Volunteers will be needed to help remove invasive plants, and to reseed the area with native grasses. All gloves,tools and training will be provided by Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper.
