The dune restoration work completed at the Port Burwell East Beach on November 5, 2025, formed part of the North Shore Resilience Action Plan, which focuses on restoring and enhancing dune systems along the North Shore of Lake Erie. This multi-phase initiative spans from Long Point to Port Glasgow.

As part of this project, municipal staff worked alongside community volunteers and representatives from the Long Point Biosphere to complete significant restoration planting, including:

• 200 native beach grass plants
• 150 little bluestem plants
• 200 switchgrass plants
• 7 cottonwood trees
• 8 cedar trees

In addition to the plantings, staff installed fencing, with posts and rope to be added as a future boundary marker. The area will be designated with Sensitive Area signage to protect the restoration zone as it establishes.

Further information about this initiative can be found on the North Shore Resilience website.

As part of the Hydro One Vegetation Management Plan, they will be removing hazardous brush and vegetation through the next several months from road allowances and private lands.

The project is expected to start in the Fall/Winter 2025 – 2026 and could continue into Spring 2026.

All brush will be removed except the larger trunks, which will have to be removed by the Municipality. 

Hydro has been advised to remove all branches on the day of clearing and not create piles on the roadside or private property. 

The blue line in the MAP shows what areas will be completed during this time.
