Michelle Vanstrom, Certified Naturalist

Niagara's Native Species

New Content

Please explore this Website to find out more about Niagara County's native plants. It was created to provide residents and visitors information about Niagara County's native species.  A current project, Regional Economic Growth Through Restoration of the Niagara Gorge Rim, is located in Document Library 1 on this page. That project was created by Michelle Vanstrom while she was the president of Wild Ones Niagara, and ER Baxter, III, founder of the Niagara Heritage Partnership. The chapter no longer exists. She also created the Pollinator Parkway Project.
