An Escape in Nature
Paradise Grove is the perfect place for a peaceful nature retreat easily enjoyed by all ages. Make it your next stop for a relaxing picnic, nature hike or a quick game of catch! The wide variety of oak trees adds to the unique ecosystem of this natural gem.
Ongoing Restoration
Over the years, invasive species compromised the ecological integrity of Paradise Grove’s remnant oak savannah and tallgrass prairie. In 2003, Niagara Parks and its partners, Parks Canada, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority and Niagara Restoration Council began to introduce native plant material such as oak saplings, wildflowers and native grasses as part of ongoing restoration activities.
These environmental initiatives aim to sustain important ecosystems along the Niagara River Corridor and contribute to the long-term protection and enhancement of Paradise Grove for the enjoyment of generations to come.
