"Ground Beetle Biomonitoring on a Restored Tall Grass Prairie (Haliburton, Ontario)","Dorothy Travis","Abbey Gardens","Kaitlyn Fleming",4940,"April, 2023",Online,"Haliburton County, Abbey Gardens","Prairie Restoration",,"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.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Abbey Gardens,Biomonitoring,CBR,ground beetles,prairie grass,restoration,terrestrial,Trent University,U-Links",http://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/1a405d8882fa2ea82dc7f81467439a31.pdf,Text,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Recreation & Tourism",,"The Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park has reported over 15,500 metres of trails that have been degraded to some degree from prior all-terrain vehicle use. These trails have experienced soil erosion, with additional impacts potentially including soil compaction and declines in vegetative health. Proposed remediation strategies include mulching, tillage, planting native vegetation, decreasing trail traffic, and creating an invasive species management plan. The level of degradation on the trails was completed using visual analysis conducted by a park ranger, which overall lacks objectivity. Creating a more standardized classification system for the park is highly suggested, as well as a re-evaluation of trail degradation. Templates for trail assessments are included that can be adapted to the needs of the Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park, as well as some recommended strategies for trail remediation based on a literature analysis.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"all-terrain,CBR,compaction,degredation,erosion,QEII,recreation,remediation,restoration,tourism,trails,Trent University",http://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/58c80d687d47456d1167079ed7047318.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0
"Windy Pine Shoreline Restoration Proposal","Natalie Chesla, Jeff Turcotte, Spencer Yeo","Windy Pine Conference Centre","Tom Whillans",TP_4837,2019,"On-Line ","Algonquin Highlands","Environmental Science / Studies",,"The Windy Pine Conference Centre is a 25-acre property located on Kushog Lake, north of Minden in the County of Haliburton. The Conference Centre was developed prior to new shoreline ordinances which require a 30m setback on lake-side properties. The combination of near shore development, variable water-levels on Kushog Lake, and naturally thin soils along the rocky shoreline have enabled areas of concerning erosion along the 300m natural shoreline of the Windy Pine Property (Trent University, n.d.). Other possible causes of shoreline erosion may include wave washing and ice movement (MNRF et al , 2011). A previous shoreline inventory was conducted in 2014 through the “Love Your Lake” program. This project would expand on the previous inventory and provide additional recommendations regarding how to best address the problem areas on the site. This report will give final recommendations on the course of action best suited for the shoreline at the Windy Pine Conference Centre.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"environment,erosion,Habitat,Jeff Turcotte,lakes,Love Your Lake,Natalie Chesla,policy,restoration,Shoreline,Spencer Yeo,The Kushog Lake Property Owners Association,Tom Whillans,Windy Pine Conference Centre",http://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/619390a5b98a0c31178b080f36401f51.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Resource Management",,"This report focuses on the threats to the Lake Trout population which are anthropogenic that have resulted in unfavourable living conditions for Lake Trout in Kushog Lake. The threats discussed in this paper are mainly related to like sedimentation and angling pressures. The report offers some potential management strategies for relieving these pressures. These management suggestions consist of projects the community may wish to finance, but with an emphasis on those that are based on local participation. Possible management options and opportunities related to erosion include spawning reef construction and preservation initiatives, reducing wave turbidity and shoreline disturbance, as well as education. Seasonal restrictions, access control, and reducing ice fishing mortality related to angling are also discussed. Accompanying management strategies include regulatory enforcement, fish sanctuaries, and catch and release practices.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"CBR,ecology,erosion,Kushog,lake trout,resource management,restoration,sedimentations,Trent University",http://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/f78439a880df3afe5989e62f7e30a29c.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0
