Buffalo's Outer HarborOne of the PCA's concentrations in the Niagara Greenway is the Outer Harbor of Buffalo, the western gateway to the Niagara River Greenway. This area is a sensitive shoreline region that has critical links to birds, pollinators, rare plants, and climate resilience. It is also a great place for recreation and for promoting human interactions with a profound nature that helps to characterize the wilderness off shore. The PCA is engaged to help conserve and develop conservation plans for this important place.
