NR-681 Submittal of Final Kushog Lake Ground Truthing Report 2014 Kushog Lake Identification and Inflow Analysis: Year 3
subject: Prepared for the Kushog Lake Property Owners Association, in partnership with ULinks Centre for Community Based Research, this report is a summary of year three of a multi-year project ground truthing all inflows into Kushog Lake. As the third and final report in the ground truthing process, results of inflow verification along the eastern shore, south of Ox Narrows, are detailed to confirm locations as identified in the Glenside Ecological Services report, Kushog Lake Watershed: Wetland and Stream Desktop Analysis (Heaven, 2011). New inflows absent from the initial report are also mapped and analyzed, and locations and data for all inflows identified throughout the life of the project (2011-14) are compiled for review and comparison. Biomonitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates using the Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) protocol continues the monitoring of previous years, sampling three reference sites established in 2011-2012, and initiating sampling at three new reference sites.

TP_4834 To Go or To Stay? Rural Impacts on the Perceptions of “Failure to Launch” Youth
subject: Failure to launch is an increasingly significant issue youth are currently experiencing due to delays in economic independency. Failure to launch involves not being able to leave your community, or leaving and having to come back. The concept of failure to launch goes hand in hand with lifecycle milestones disruptions. Lifecycle milestones are important events in a youth’s life that impact their development, which can be disrupted due to a lack of resources. A review of the literature and re-analysis of a research study conducted in 2013 consisting of interviews with rural youth in the Haliburton County, City of Kawartha Lake, and Peterborough County about migration decisions was conducted. The current research project will determine how failure to launch and lifecycle milestone disruptions are impacting today’s youth, families, and communities. The impacts of failure to launch and lifecycle milestone disruptions are particularly relevant in a rural setting, and the current research project will look specifically at how these phenomena can be addressed in Haliburton County. The impacts found during the research consist of mental health issues, family strain, financial distress, long lasting effects on the economy, and diminishing rural youth population. All these impacts need to be addressed to mitigate the impact failure to launch is having on rural communities. The report will end with recommendations on how to mitigate failure to launch specifically in Haliburton County.

HHLT Species at Risk
subject: The Barnum Creek, Dahl Forest and Barry Wetland properties of Haliburton Highlands Land Trust are valuable habitats for species that require wetlands, now more than ever due to the rapid decrease in wetlands in Canada over recent years, especially in Ontario (Eamer et al., 2010). The aim of this paper is to use a literature review to identify species-at-risk that could be found within these wetlands, describe their characteristics and habitat requirements, and to outline some recommendations for managing their habitat . It was found that there could possibly be 10 species-at-risk within these locations, those being: Bank Swallows (Riparia riparia), Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica), Blanding’s Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), Golden-winged Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera), Least Bitterns (Ixobrychus exilis), Little Brown Myotis’ (Myotis lucifigus), Rusty Blackbirds (Euphagus carolinus), Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina), Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata), and Western Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris triseriata). The main management recommendations are to where possible, protect and maintain upland habitat surrounding wetlands from disturbance, especially clear-cut logging, and to carefully plan development so as to not degrade or fragment the wetland environments.
