Abstract
The purpose of the project report is to understand the data collected from the Permanent Sampling Plots established and monitored by Trent University in conjunction with U-Links Center for Community-Based Research. Through this data collection, the aim is to better understand values of forest health, composition, and development. These values will be understood through data values containing stem density, basal area, downed woody debris, and diseases observed and recorded. During the process of applying the data collected an understanding will be made of the forest production and development. The data will allow a greater understanding and an improved stewardship program will be continued through the development of the forest monitoring program. All parties involved in the report include Haliburton Highlands Land Trust, U-Links Center for Community-Based Research, and Trent University. Haliburton Highlands Land Trust owns the property of Barnum Creek Nature Reserve (BCNR), where this project has been undertaken. U-Links is the main facilitator and organizing body for the project.
