Description
An account of the resource
This project entitled Watershed Mapping Profile and Protocol has as one its purposes to develop a spatial context of the HHLT properties and Haliburton Highlands surrounding areas in terms of their watershed composition. Watershed mapping in simple terms uses elevation and flow data to define catchment areas of water systems. Geographic information science is applied to generate the watershed maps. The protocol piece of the project has as its purpose the development of a workflow for using the watershed mapping products for such endeavors as habitat and land conservation. This project is designed to span a single semester.

Wetland Assessment
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Wetlands provide a host of biological, social, hydrological, and cultural services, though they are being destroyed at an alarming rate in Ontario in the name of human development. The only way for a wetland to be fully protected from development is it being designated as provincially significant under the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES), created by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (OMNRF). This study conducted a preliminary assessment of the wetland on the northwestern edge of Grace Lake to determine if there is merit for its designation as provincially significant following a formal environmental impact assessment.
Flora and fauna observational data, organic content data, water chemistry, and water flow data were collected. All data was then inputted into the OWES scoring manual for Northern Ontario, and a score for the Grace Lake Wetland (GLW) was calculated. Our preliminary results found that the wetland could be deemed provincially significant, as it scored 247.52 points in the “Special Features” component, and a wetland can score a minimum of 200 points in this component to be considered a provincially significant wetland (PSW).
Our findings suggest that there is likely justification for a formal assessment of the GLW, and there may be more findings by a professional team than we were able to gather in this preliminary assessment. There are various opportunities for the expansion of our findings in future research, including conducting the assessment over multiple seasons and engaging members of the Grace Lake community to partake in various citizen science initiatives. If a
formal assessment designates the GLW as provincially significant, then it and any area within 120 meters of it will be protected from unsustainable development.

Insect Studies
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Insects are a large group of arthropods that play essential roles in our environment,
including cycling nutrients, pollinating plants, acting as a food source for other taxa, and many
more. However, regarding non-environmental applications, insects play important roles in
forensic entomology. Although well-studied in urban regions, there is a lack of biodiversity
information on blowfly species in rural habitats. Therefore, this study aimed to determine
blowfly species composition in Haliburton, Ontario. Four bottle traps were set up across three
different types of forests in Glebe Park between July 1st to September 2nd, 2022. In the family
Calliphoridae, we report 11 species: Lucilia illustris, Phormia regina, Calliphora livida, Lucilia
silvarum, Lucilia coeruleiviridis, Calliphora vicina, Lucilia sericata, Calliphora vomitoria,
Cynomya cadaverina, Calliphora terraenovae, and Protophormia terraenovae. We examined if
several environmental variables affected species abundance and composition. We found
accumulated degree days above 0°C, numeric date, total precipitation (14 days), and humidity
affect species abundance. However, none of the variables examined (forest type, elevation, and
distance from the water) seemed to affect species composition. Our results align with previous
research in which accumulated degree days affected Calliphoridae abundance. The results of this
study can help answer questions in forensic entomology, such as calculating post-mortem
intervals, stages of decomposition, and determining if a body has been moved from its original
location.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Forest health surveys have been done worldwide to provide relevant data on the current health of forests and provide long-term analyses of changes in the ecosystem. This has been shown to help early identification of disturbances and prevent future harm. In this report, students from Trent University set up eight Permanent Sampling Plots (PSPs) in the Barnum Creek Nature Reserve to collect forest health data for the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust. This field data collected includes tree diameter at breast height (DBH), tree height, canopy class, species presence, downed woody debris characteristics, and tree defects. Field data was then analyzed to determine the distribution of DBH and stem defects, relative stem density, basal area per hectare, and proportion of downed woody debris versus decomposition class for each site. This data allowed students to conclude that it is a sugar maple-eastern white cedar-dominated forest with good diversity and valued habitat for wildlife. One concern noted is the high presence of closed wounds on the trees. In completing the analysis of data, students recommend to the HHLT that they continue to pursue goals in protecting and maintaining the forests, and having the public keep good stewardship of the land.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This extensive literature study offers a full evaluation of the characteristics, advantages, and
difficulties related to the use of building plasters with natural bases. Plasters made of clay, lime,
gypsum, and natural fibres are only a few examples of natural-based materials that are contrasted
with synthetic counterparts. The review examines the thermal resistance, mould resistance, VOC
retention, physical strength, and characteristics of various plasters while also examining the
importance of indoor air quality and any potential health advantages of utilising construction
materials with natural bases. The study also outlines the difficulties and impediments to the use
of building plasters with natural bases, such as financial viability, building norms and
regulations, and the requirement for case studies of successful implementation.To encourage the
broad use of building plasters made from natural materials, this literature study concludes with
recommendations for industry experts and politicians.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Carrion beetles use decaying flesh as a resource for food and mating therefore, they play
an important role in the physical decomposition of organic matter and thus can play an important
role in forensic investigations. We conducted a survey of Silphidae in Glebe Park, Haliburton,
from June 2022 to September 2022. The area of Glebe Park is located Ontario Shield ecozone
and Georgian Bay ecoregion and is located in a mixed forest habitat. We set four bottle traps in
Glebe Park in an effort to update the known distributions of Silphids, determine environmental
factors and their effects on abundance, and if any present species have implications for species at
risk in the Haliburton region of Ontario. A total of 1,308 Silphidae beetles were collected and
consisted of five species: Nicrophorus tomentosus, Nicrophorus pustulatus, Nicrophorus sayi,
Nicrophorus defodiens, and Oiceoptoma noveboracense. Nicrophorus tomentosus was the most
abundant species found consisting of 991 specimens in total. Nicrophorus pustulatus, N. sayi, N.
defodiens, and O. noveboracense were found in totals of 131, 116, 64 and 6 respectively. Out of
the environmental factors that were analyzed, it appears that mean wind speed and mean dew
point are the greatest factors in Silphidae abundance. When wind speed is higher, there is a
decrease in the abundance of Silphidae, but when there is an increase in dew point, there is also
an increase of Silphidae.

Shoreline restoration
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Minden Riverwalk is a two-kilometer walkway located in Minden, Ontario, that was originally composed of solely turfgrass between the paved walkway and shoreline. However, an initiative was taken to plant various native plants, various trees, and set up garden boxes along the path to promote flora biodiversity and mitigate waterfowl nesting in residential areas within Minden. The newly formed ecosystem now serves as a multipurposed natural ‘garden’, providing a beautiful scenery for the local and visiting communities alike, as well as essential food services, shelter, and nesting grounds for a plethora of insects.
The Haliburton County Gardeners initiated a project to assess and catalogue the presence of insects and flora, in order to further understand the biodiversity present along the Riverwalk but also to look at the range of pollinators that were aiding in pollination, as well as other insect and plant interaction that were occurring along the Riverwalk. This information would be compiled for a self-guided audio tour, which would be made public online for the town and any visitors curious about the ecology of the Riverwalk.

Prairie Restoration
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Abbey Gardens, a non-profit organization located in Haliburton County, Ontario, is dedicated to educating the public about eco-friendly agricultural practices and environmentally sustainable living. As part of their initiatives, Abbey Gardens has restored a 3.45-acre patch of land within their property to a tallgrass prairie (TGP) habitat. This restoration project involved the installation of native shrubs, flowers, and grasses characteristic of natural TGPs, and the area has been actively managed since its inception. The objective of this study is to assess the ecological success of the restored TGP habitat through biological monitoring. While the computed biotic indices did not exhibit strong significance due to a limited sample size and restricted sampling period, the overall ecological state of Abbey Gardens' TGP is promisingly functional. The restoration and management efforts have effectively transformed a once barren car park into a thriving ecosystem. This successful restoration project provides valuable insights that can be applied to revitalizing the fragmented and endangered tallgrass prairies across Southern Ontario.

Benthic biomonitoring
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) employs an effects-based approach using macroinvertebrate-based sampling to assess ecosystem health. This study utilizes benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators to understand the ecosystem health of Koshlong Lake in Ontario. The OBBN protocol categorizes macroinvertebrates into 27 groups based on taxonomic classification, providing a comprehensive understanding of the benthic community. Water chemistry analysis and examination of macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance calculations are also included, with the results being contrasted against proportions of sensitive taxa and their correlated "typical" ranges for the region. The presence of the invasive Spiny Waterflea is noted but not extensively studied in this project. Furthermore, diversity index values align with observations from other lakes in the region, indicating a healthy ecosystem. However, additional data collected over at least five years is necessary to establish long-term trends and determine if the observed values represent typical conditions for Koshlong Lake. Collaborating with the Koshlong Lake Association, this study provides valuable insights into the stressors and overall health of the lake ecosystem.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Abbey Retreat Centre (ARC) provides diverse programming designed for persons facing a cancer diagnosis alongside their key caregiver. It sought an evaluation tool capable of continually assessing performance and outcomes across its many retreats and online programs. This paper and project reflect the pursuit of said task. The key research question in formulating a tool of best fit then became ‘what is the most appropriate retreat-specific and cross-cutting performance measures to include in an evaluation tool for the Abbey Retreat Centre?’. Completing a literature review to understand best practice and performance measures of significance within similar retreat centers, a draft evaluation tool was created. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were organized, where respondents provided feedback on the draft tool which informed the final version.

Lake Management Plan
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Drag and Spruce Lakes, located in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, are the head lakes in the Burnt River Watershed; the Drag and Spruce Lake Property Owners Association (DSLPOA) works in conjunction with the Federation of Ontario Cottagers Association (FOCA) to ensure the lakes' health, biodiversity, beauty, and recreational value are preserved. To achieve this, DSLPOA implements various stewardship strategies, such as promoting proper maintenance of watercraft and volunteer-based programs like the Lake Partner Program (LPP). These strategies aim to encourage shoreline landowners and lake users to adopt best management practices voluntarily, benefiting the entire community and securing the lakes' future health. In future conservation efforts, it is recommended to continue implementing these programs while also identifying priority areas for focused management actions. Collaborative efforts involving relevant stakeholders, such local community members, DSLPOA members, the Community Advisory Panel, and the Science and Technical Committee, should be engaged in to determine the level of priority, rationale, responsible agents, and specific initiatives for each action.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Fred & Pearl Barry Wetland Reserve is a 100 acre property that includes
approximately 62 acres of wetland. It was donated to HHLT in 2012 by Dennis Barry.
The property is located at the southern end of South Lake, in the Township of Minden
Hills, Haliburton. The area is located at the headwaters of the provincially significant
wetland, the Kendrick Creek Wetland Complex, which feeds into the Irondale and Burnt
Rivers. In 2021, in cooperation with Glenside Ecological Services LTD this wetland
reserve was designated within a large wildlife corridor, The Highlands Corridor, and was
recognized to have features that are resilient to the effects of climate change. The
wetland reserve’s land was donated in 2012 by Dennis Barry through the Government
of Canada’s Ecological gifts program (HHLT, 2023). Unfortunately, due to the relative
sensitivity of the wetland and the mixed terrain that can pose safety risks to humans, it
is not available to the public

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Bob Lake is an inland lake located in Minden, Ontario, that is home to the Bob Lake
Association. We completed a benthic macroinvertebrate assessment of the lake
following Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) protocol using samples
collected in the fall of 2022. The goal of this assessment is to contribute to a 5-year
study establishing the baseline conditions of Bob Lake and the benthic invertebrate
communities that inhabit it. Only one year has been completed prior to the submission
of this report, which accounts for the second year. The results of this research will
contribute to lake monitoring data and advise the Bob Lake Association on future lake
management decisions. Using the random teaspoon sampling method, we identified
100 invertebrates from each replicate of the three sites sampled. We then evaluated the
results of each site using several indices of species diversity and richness. Our
evaluation shows that the lake conditions are within a normal range for the Haliburton
area, but the remaining three years of this study must be completed to effectively
confirm these results.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This community-based research project focuses on evaluating the baseline composition of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in Grace Lake as part of the Woodlands and Waterways EcoWatch initiative. Benthic macroinvertebrates, small aquatic organisms inhabiting the sediment at the bottom of water bodies, serve as indicators of water quality due to their sensitivity to environmental stressors. The project involved sampling benthic macroinvertebrates and assessing water quality at three sites in Grace Lake. The identified invertebrates were categorized into 27 groups, and various indices were calculated to assess the lake's ecological condition. The results indicate that Grace Lake exhibits typical conditions compared to other lakes in the Haliburton Region. The ongoing data collection will contribute to establishing a five-year baseline dataset and enable the detection of any future negative trends in water quality or ecological integrity.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This study focuses on the declining population of loon chicks in Bob and Little Bob Lake, located in Haliburton County, Ontario. Despite the presence of breeding pairs, residents have observed a significant decrease in the number of loon chicks over the past few years, raising concerns about potential underlying issues. To address this, several suggestions for future actions are proposed within this report. Raising awareness about the decline in the loon population is crucial, and educational efforts targeting residents can inspire them to take actions to mitigate threats such as litter or boat wake. Implementing signage in vulnerable areas, similar to successful initiatives on Miskwabi Lake, can contribute to protecting the loons. By implementing these suggested measures, it is hoped that the declining population of loon chicks in Bob and Little Bob Lake can be addressed and reversed, ensuring the long-term conservation of these iconic bird species.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this project is to collect benthic macroinvertebrate (also referred to as “benthics”or “benthos”) data to determine the health of Kabakwa Lake. Benthos are small spineless organisms that reside on the bottom of water bodies among sediments and aquatic plants. Due to their fairly stationary nature, they live most, if not all of their lives in the same area on the lake bottom close to shores. This makes them ideal indicator species as they are heavily influenced by organic and inorganic pollution and disturbances in the water. Benthos provide insight into the current state of water and habitat quality and can be measured every year to determine trends in lake health. 2022 marks the second year of sampling on Kabakwa Lake.
The benthos community counts are input into select indices (percent EOT and Simpson's Diversity Index) to identify yearly trends and to calculate the health of the water.
This project is being completed in partnership with the Halls and Hawks Property Owners
Association (HHPOA). It is hoped that the data collected on the sites contributes to the proper management of the lakes and their ongoing health.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The social determinants of health also reveal the powerful role that social factors have in shaping health across a range of indicators, settings, and populations. Our findings confirm that rural communities lack the capacity to support people with eating disorders. This study revealed a variety of factors associated with the inability to obtain effective treatment in a rural area, including poor health literacy, lack of funding and staff, direct and indirect costs of treatment, and inadequate communications and referral systems. Specifically, this study found that Haliburton County, Ontario experiences increased service barriers that allow patients to avoid or prevent treatment altogether. This study reveals the importance of increasing eating disorder training across medical settings, as well as other structural functions that impede the ability for people in rural communities to obtain efficient treatment for themselves or their loved ones.

This project contributes to the Woodlands and Waterways Ecowatch program, which is overseen by U-Links. The goal of this program is to monitor and gather data on the health of forest and aquatic ecosystems within the Haliburton region. This data will then be used to aid in the planning and management of these ecosystems, to ensure they are in good health for future generations. The purpose of the Haliburton Lake benthic assessment is to gather data on the baseline composition of the benthic communities found within the lake to determine the health of the ecosystem. This is the third year this project has been conducted, so previous years data will be compared to the current findings to identify trends within the benthic communities present. This will help to determine the current state of the lake and aid in developing future management strategies.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Through assessing the quality of Halls Lake, we hope to develop a more thorough understanding of its health. We further hope to contribute to baseline data that can be used for long term studies and assessment of Halls Lake by the HHLPOA. While this lake has been sampled in previous years, there is currently not enough data to draw conclusions on any trends in water quality. Therefore, the goal of this study is not only to assess current water quality health, but to add to lake data so that trends and conclusions can be made in the future.

Benthic Biomonitoring
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In Kabakwa Lake of Haliburton, Ontario, benthic invertebrate samples were collected via Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network protocol. The purpose of collecting benthic macroinvertebrates was to contribute to a long-term benthos biomonitoring program. Long-term benthic collections for Kabakwa Lake were collected for the first time for 2021. Benthic collections provide insight on the present water quality and if the waterbody is affected by pollution. These can then help build management actions to prevent further contamination of the sites.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Upper Stoney Lake is a freshwater lake in Peterborough County, Ontario, and is surrounded by various forms of infrastructure and anthropogenic activity. There are several different land usages in close proximity to the lake which have raised concern over the water quality and the health of the aquatic ecosystem itself; the nearness of the anthropogenic activity to the lake makes it susceptible to impacts associated with diffuse pollution. Diffuse pollution occurs when contaminates such as pesticides, chemicals, fecal bacteria, sediments, and nutrients travel and run off the land and into nearby surface waters and watersheds.The purpose of this study is to assess the impacts of diffuse pollution and watershed land use on Upper Stoney Lake and provide mitigation measures to reduce the intensity of the impacts these anthropogenic activities pose on the health of the aquatic ecosystem. Our research question is based around investigating how diffuse sources of pollution in the watershed impact the water quality and aquatic ecosystems of Upper Stoney Lake. In this report, we specifically research the effects of forestry and agricultural non-point sources of pollution to Upper Stoney Lake and mitigation measures to improve water quality.

Upper Stony Lake
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This project focuses on the sources of water quality degradation that occur because of homes/cottages and the practices associated with owning them. The impacts of homes and cottages on water quality was examined by conducting an extensive literature review on the topic and compiling our findings into this summary. This project will examine the history of the Upper Stoney Lake area to give context about the watershed that it is located in. It will then focus on three separate impactful activities; shoreline modifications, fertilizer/septic tank use, and boating. This literature review will address the scale of these issues in Upper Stoney Lake, what type of wildlife or species they are impacting, and the dangers of these impacts if they continue.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This research conducts a comprehensive literature review on anthropogenic land uses and their impacts on oligotrophic and mesotrophic inland lakes relating to the water quality of upper Stoney Lake. A common consensus within the literature points to the importance of education, reducing the use and reliance of pesticides at the local golf course and watershed-scale, and reconsidering North American cosmetic standards for golf courses, in reducing the impacts of pesticides applied to golf courses on watersheds. This review has provided direct evidence that application timing and rates of synthetic fertilizers on golf course turfs influence the degree to which nutrients like Nitrogen and Phosphorus are found in concentrated amounts within stormwater effluent draining these sites. These findings may be significant in informing golf course land use regulation within the Upper Stoney Lake watershed, or the watershed of other oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes globally.
