It involves stewardship, the notion that present generations and resource users are responsible for the sustainability of the Earth and its resources for future generations.","The intention of this report was to investigate the nature of dedicated angler programs across North America. A dedicated angler program is considered any program that facilitates angler or community involvement in the management of the fisheries resource. Programs were analyzed from across Canada and the northern United States in an effort to understand how a dedicated angler program could be introduced to Haliburton County. Programs involving stocking, habitat restoration, education, reporting, creel studies, and angler diaries were reviewed. Trends that may be indicative of success throughout these programs were analyzed and compiled. A select number of programs were then introduced to an invited audience at the Haliburton Highlands Outdoors Association fish hatchery in Haliburton County. The invited audience included HHOA members, employees with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, members of the local stewardship council, and lake association members. Programs that had potential for Haliburton County were presented, along with findings detailing the nature of communitygovernment manager partnerships and creation and funding of a natural resource comanagement program. At this time a survey was provided to gain feedback from the invited audience, and a discussion period was opened. This report analyzes the information gained from both the background research into dedicated angler programs across North America and from the hatchery information session. Recommendations are made regarding how Haliburton County should proceed with such a program.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"community,conservation,Environment Studies,fishing,recreation,stewardship,tourism",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/e2d2f27d1c04819828890ea8702fe426.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Reference is made to the University of Waterloo Heritage Resources Centre's study of volunteer environmental stewardship (VES) and the various private conservation mechanisms such as landowner contact programs, conservation easements, land trusts, and government-sponsored stewardship initiatives available to the landowner.
The loss of biodiversity and the corresponding need for private conservation efforts in natural areas such as Haliburton is explored as well as the connection between the concept of bioregionalism and private stewardship. It is concluded that private stewardship initiatives are an integral part of a comprehensive conservation measure to protect and enhance the biodiversity of a region such as Haliburton.

Haliburton County exists within a complex ecological transition zone, an ecotone known as The Land Inbetween. The ecotone is made up of Canadian Shield to the north and limestone plains to the south. Like many areas within this ecotone, Haliburton County is a center of recreation, cottager ownership and eco-tourism and has no major industrial urban center. Damage to Haliburton’s Natural Heritage is occurring and it will continue to do so unless appropriate Land Use Planning and significant and sensitive areas are protected.
The primary goal of this report is to familiarize the reader with the basics of current government policy and protocol in the establishment of Land Trusts in Ontario, and applying it to specific heritage features that are present in Haliburton County. It is recommended to promote public education on the environmental and economic benefits of land trusts, as well as growing and maintaining close relationships with other Land Trusts and organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, the Haliburton Stewardship Council, OMNR, and more.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"conservation,Environment Studies,land trusts,land use,natural heritage,policy",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/fe64cbefb5163e748a094d0ddb4ecf69.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

There is great concern regarding the decline of salamanders as a whole and not just one individual species however monitoring these species requires that we have an idea on the current populations so that we can continue to monitor and implement conservation strategies with enough time before these species are lost (Smith & Petranka, 2000).
Salamanders have unique traits that make them favourable indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem health. Characteristics being their durability, small size, sensitivity to anthropogenic stressors such as acid rain, and other industrial and household pollutants (Welsh & Droege, 2001) Salamanders existence in North America in high densities and biomass alongside there sensitivity to environmental change makes them excellent indicators for environmental changes (Welsh & Droege, 2001). The sensitivity of the salamanders derives from their semipermeable slim skin that absorbs any contaminated or natural water, as well as harmful toxins in their environment hence why salamanders are less dense in populations near cities (Mattson, 2019). Monitoring is utilized for salamanders due to the fact that they are sensitive to environmental change and act as bioindicators to detect the change in ecosystems over time (Saber et al. 2017).","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"biology,conservation,ecosystem health,HHLT,monitoring,slamanders,wildlife",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/7ec2eff562ad50b66fabf699a0171e3b.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Five separate properties constitute the land trust, including the Dahl Forest, Smith Forest, Norah’s Island, Fred & Pearl Barry Wetland Reserve, and Barnum Creek Nature Reserve. Land trusts are instrumental in the conservation of native flora and fauna, and are often focused on the protection of a specific type of habitat (Brewer, 2003). The HHLT is unique in that all four types of wetlands (marsh, bog, fen, and swamp) are found on the properties (Haliburton Highlands Land Trust – 2020 Climate Change Project, 2021). Natural wetlands are crucial as they act as sinks for carbon sequestration (Mitsch, 2013), and play an active role in the cycling of important nutrients like nitrogen (Fennessy, Rokosch & Mack, 2008). Wetlands also provide habitats for a variety of animals including mammals like beavers and minks, rare bird species, and a range of amphibians (Gibbs, 2000). Knowing this, the HHLT has made great strides in the conservation of many animals that call their property home. From bats to turtles, the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust has orchestrated many projects focused on the monitoring and protection of Ontario’s native species.",,"Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"conservation,environmental monitoring,frog,Haliburton Highlands Land Trust,monitoring",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/440ce57d5ffe11a1ef9b18647923079a.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0
