The Glanbrook Conservation Committee is a group of volunteers working to improve the habitat for wildlife in what was previously Glanbrook Township.
The Glanbrook Conservation Committee was established in 1990. Our first project involved the raising of pheasants for release in the Glanbrook area. Since that time, the GCC has since maintained a relatively low profile in the community. The majority of the committee activities take place in the Binbrook Conservation Area in partnership with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. From hiking trails, to a large aquatics planting program, to an extensive tree planting program (over 10,000 trees and counting!), we have strived to improve the natural habitat for both wildlife and visitors alike in and around the shores of Lake Niapenco at the Binbrook Conservation Area.

During their fisheries assessment last fall at the Binbrook Conservation Area the biologists decided to check the area under the Bald Eagle nest to determine if their activities had any impact on the fish population.
The photo shows a tag attached to a Northern Pike from a previous
study. No catch and release practised here.
Did the tag discourage them from consuming the rest of the fish?

Photos of our walleye spawning area on Lake Niapenco. Constructed to take advantage of the prevailing winds to encourage oxygenation of eggs, and also protect shoreline from a serious erosion problem.
Together with our stocking program, we have now established
a healthy population of walleye in the lake.

The bite was a little slow today at Binbrook.
The crappie being caught were generally a decent size.
They were having better luck earlier in the day.
Of course there is lots of ice.
Cool temperature, but nice day to be outdoors.

During the fish survey at Binbrook Conservation Area, the biologists discovered this pike.
It doesn't seem to have been hampered by it's injury? deformity?I
Very unusual. Something we seldom see at Binbrook.

With the historic low water level at Lake Niapenco this fall, the biologists made some interesting discoveries during their operations.
Among them was this northern pike skull with a lure lodged in it's throat.
The result of broken fishing line, it was unable to dislodge the lure, and starved to death.
( we washed the lure to make it visable)
