Dufferin Islands Welcome Sign Dufferin Islands welcome sign : "Welcome to Dufferin Islands Natural Area. Prior to 1903 the Dufferin Islands area was a natural and relatively unspoiled fast-flowing watercourse that was an off-shoot caused by the inclination of the underlying rock formation towards the Canaddian side of the river. By 1920 diversion of water for the generation of electricity and the construction of many smaller islands in the channel turned the watercourse into a sedate, slow-flowing series of pools and ponds. the disturbed soil became an excellent seed bed for many plants, insluding non-native invasive alien plant species (IAS) such as Tree-of-Heaven, Norway maple and Purple Loostrife. In 2007 the Niagara parks Commission developed a management plan for Dufferin Islands to preserve the natural resources that still exist on the site. IAS are being removed and appropriate native plant species planted to increase the habitat quality. Interpretive trails are being upgraded and many interior trails have been closed to allow for natural regeneration for improved wildlife habitat. For more information visit www.Niagaraparksnature.com and please, stay on the gravel trails." -

Fort George Plaque Plaque at Fort George: "Fort George. Constructed by Lieutenant Govenor Simcoe 1796-99, Fort George served as headquarters for Major-General Brock in 1812. In May 1813 it was bombarded and captured by the Americans who constructed fortifications of their own on the site. These in turn were retaken by the British in December 1813. In 1815 Fort George was described as 'tumbling into ruins' and ordered abandoned. The present works are a reconstruction done in 1937-40, and represent this fort as it was in 1799-1813. Only the magazine of the original fort remains." -
