In 2010, Little Beaver Island underwent a restoration project to bring back the native marsh ecosystem that once thrived there. The project removed over eight acres of fill material, contoured the newly re-exposed creek bottom, and integrated over 100,000 specimens of native plantings into the marsh ecosystem to create a diverse wetland habitat supporting fish, birds, wildlife, and plants. By promoting native species, the effort helps Little Beaver Island remain a healthy part of the Niagara River environment and seeks to restore the abundance of historical plant and animal species that lived there long before Grand Island was developed.
