Beamer Memorial Conservation Area, Conservation area in Grimsby, Canada

Beamer Memorial Conservation Area lies on the Niagara Escarpment in Grimsby, Ontario, where the cliffs of the escarpment, the rolling Vinemount Moraine and the incised gorge of Forty Mile Creek form its main landforms. It is owned and operated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority acquired this land in 1964 to protect the Niagara Escarpment and Forty Creek valley system. This action preserved the natural features that define the area today.

The Niagara Peninsula Hawkwatch runs daily raptor counts here from March through May, when the spring migration passes over the escarpment. Volunteers record each bird seen from the lookout, and the totals are compiled into the organisation's seasonal records.

The main viewing platform closes from late February to mid-May for monitoring purposes, while other trails remain open from sunrise to sunset. Wear appropriate footwear and expect changing conditions on the paths.
