Trees at Fifty Point Conservation Area offer vital natural habitat to migratory songbirds along the Lake Ontario shoreline.

A donation from Hamilton Oshawa Port Authority is helping Fifty Point CA to rebuild its tree canopy after dozens of mature trees were lost to the emerald ash-borer. Most of the trees were located within a 2.5 hectare area of land. The Port Authority donation of $5,000 will be used to plant native trees and shrubs on 1.5 hectares and create a pollinator meadow on the remaining hectare.

In addition to hosting a marina, campground and beach, Fifty Point CA is also a vital piece of natural land along an increasingly-developed Lake Ontario shoreline. A number of migratory songbird species, including Species at Risk, have been spotted at Fifty Point.
