      <image:caption>The Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System is a collaboration among nine government and not-for-profit agencies that collectively protect nearly 2,200 ha of open space and nature sanctuary between Cootes Paradise Marsh, Hamilton Harbour, and the Niagara Escarpment. Since 2007, the collaboration has evolved as a voluntary park alliance in which the participating agencies own and manage their lands individually but collaborate on areas of mutual interest.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Beside and between partner lands are properties owned by private landowners. The community of Waterdown lies just north of Clappison and Waterdown Woods, with the Hidden Valley community located within the Grindstone Creek Valley. Southeast of Waterdown Woods is the Tyandaga and Brant Hills residential areas. Cootes Paradise Marsh and Burlington Heights are surrounded by Burlington’s Aldershot and Brighton Beach Community, Downtown Hamilton, the Westdale Neighbourhood, the former Town of Dundas and rural residential areas across the Escarpment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Landowner Stewardship - We support these communities in becoming strong environmental stewards that will ensure further protection and preservation of the area’s natural heritage. Private landowner projects we have supported include pollinator gardens, rainwater management, tree planting, riparian habitat enhancements, creek habitat enhancements, Invasive plant species management, livestock access restriction, manure management, online pond mitigation, well decommissioning, and more.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our Landowner Outreach Technician is available to meet with private landowners residing within the Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System area to provide free on-site consultation, assist in developing habitat restoration projects and provide information on financial incentive opportunities.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Cootes to Escarpment EcoPark System is a collaboration among nine government and not-for-profit agencies that collectively protect nearly 2,200 ha of open space and nature sanctuary between Cootes Paradise Marsh, Hamilton Harbour, and the Niagara Escarpment. Since 2007, the collaboration has evolved as a voluntary park alliance in which the participating agencies own and manage their lands individually but collaborate on areas of mutual interest.</image:caption>
