Abstract
A summary of the resource.
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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the long term biomonitoring of health of Smith Forest in Haliburton County and its transition from a mature forest to an old growth forest. Smith Forest is a property in Haliburton, located on the Burnt river, bordering a wetland. It is showing evidence of being a mature forest transitioning to an old growth forest. Old growth forests have many benefits, such as, increasing biodiversity, increasing species habitats, and lowering CO2 in the atmosphere.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In this study three permanent sample forest plots were established in the Smith Forest which is owned by the Haliburton Highland Land Trust located in Haliburton County. This report will discuss background information regarding permanent sample forest plots such as; ecosite classification, protocol design, plot design, and error generation. An abbreviated methodology based on techniques and instruments used for the Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network (EMAN) protocol has also been included. From the three established permanent sample plots, a variety of forest health parameters were measure, including such measurements as diameter at breast height (DBH), stem defects, tree species, and downed woody debris (DWD). From this data trends in stem density and basal area were analyzed to help determine the age of different locations in the forest. Additional data analysis was conducted on stem defects, and downed woody debris however few conclusions could be drawn from this data as this was the first year of this monitoring program, and there was no prior data to compare current measurements to. Future recommendations for the expanding and continuation of this monitoring program are suggested at the end of the report.

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.
