The topic of the resource
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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Forest monitoring, management and protection has become increasingly important as Climate Change continues to alter the environment. The Haliburton Highland Land Trust (HHLT) has recently acquired Dahl Forest as part of an Ecological Gifts program. As part of this program they area required to ensure the long-term health of the forest. The objective of this project was to provide the means for the HHLT to monitor the changes in forest health and composition over time. This was accomplished through the means of: preparing a standardized PSP protocol and database, establishing PSP’s in Dahl Forest, and collecting baseline data from the PSP’s. A protocol was established based on a series of protocols produced by Ecological Monitoring Assessment Network (EMAN) to assess the tree health, downed woody debris (DWD) and regeneration of the forest. PSP’s were established in the Sugar Maple and mature Red Pine forests. Based on the baseline data collected it was determined that the Sugar Maple forests composition was dominated by the tolerant Sugar Maples. The forest was relatively healthy with some stem defects found. The Red Pine forest composition was mostly Red Pine with some White Pine and White Spruce. The forest was considered healthy as there were only a few stem defects found. The following future recommendations were made: (a) to establish more PSP in different ecosites and continue monitoring every 5 years to assess the health of the forests, (b) To establish additional protocols that compliment this protocol to develop a greater understanding of the overall health of the forest, (c) to conduct future data analysis to understand the changes occurring in the forest based on the data, (d) to educate the public on the monitoring program and its importance.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The natural regeneration and reforestation of derelict land plots is essential to reduce fragmentation among natural forest communities. Reintroduction of habitat, with time, will restore an ecosystem to suitable function for an abundance of flora and fauna. This in turn produces both economic and social benefits. Land plots donated to organizations such as, the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT) allow for the regeneration of natural areas in perpetuity. The extent to which the local scientific community understands the processes and progression within recovering forest stands is limited. Permanent survey plots (PSPs) allow for perpetual monitoring of communities within a forest stand. The Dahl Forest property is 500 acres of reclaimed land, used for agriculture for a brief time following increased settlement in the region. In this study, three upland sugar maple dominated PSPs were established, along with one PSP located in a red pine plantation, adjacent to the Burnt River. This paper focuses on the establishment of the three upland PSPs. The objective was to create a baseline report and dataset summarizing the community, for comparison to future surveys to monitor forest progress, and to compare to similar ecosystems in the region. The three plots were in various positions along a northeastern facing slope. Overall, the three plots had similar community compositions and canopies, with variable quantities of stem defects and downed woody debris (DWD). Plots 01-01 and 01-02 were similar in stand maturity and had low to moderate levels of stem defects and DWD, representing the greater sugar maple ecozone. The third plot was an outlier within the tree plots due to an infringing transitional forest community. This resulted in elevated stem density, defects, and DWD volumes within the stand as the mixed forest changes to a mature deciduous stand.
