Environmental Science",,"Trent University has an incredible environmental science program, yet only has a few options for service-learning opportunities for students. Designing service-learning courses for Trent University students can help them to gain valuable field skills that many environmental sector employers are looking for, in today's job market. There are many environmental monitoring protocols that could be learned and executed by students, toward a credit at Trent, while also helping communities that have specific environmental monitoring needs gather specific baseline data sets. Many of the necessary monitoring protocols would be suitable for an environmental monitoring fieldwork service-learning course for Trent students. At the same time, students could also assist community organizations by helping them to start their own monitoring or citizen science programs. This report further explores how best to design an environmental monitoring course for Trent University.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,2019,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"benthic,benthos,biodiversity,Biomonitoring,community service learning,environment,environmental,meghan robinson,Tom Whillans",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/3ef8d9eac1b059d36cf41c43d1ac3a52.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

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",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/619390a5b98a0c31178b080f36401f51.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

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).

Gelert Road has 39 potential site locations that would be ideal to place nesting boxes on, located in grassland, farmland and well maintained private yards. The sites are placed along private land and once approved, would be accessible to volunteers monitoring the nesting boxes. The boxes should be easy and economical to build and mount. They should have a 3.81cm entrance hole with grooves on the outside of the box to allow the fledglings to leave the nest. The boxes should be placed at least 92 m apart, facing southeast in open areas with little ground cover. They should be numbered and monitored approximately every 4-5 days during egg laying, incubating and nesting periods. Monitoring should be completed from a distance once the fledglings are 12-13 days old in order to prevent them from leaving the nest prematurely. Detailed monitoring records should be kept and filed through HHFN. To increase feasibility of this trail, high school students, community members and HHFN members can come together to speak with landowners, build, place and monitor nesting boxes.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Anna Robbins,biology,Birdbox,Bluebird,Cheryl McKenna-Neuman,County Road 21,Eastern Bluebird,environmental,Gelert Road,GPS,Haliburton Highlands Field Naturalists,Minden Hills,Survey,Tom Whillans",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/5c48ad72bae99273f04d2fdc13da0099.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,1
