    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Permanent sample plot analysis of Barnum Creek Nature Reserve]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[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.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Permanent sample plot analysis of Smith Forest in Haliburton county.]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[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.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Windy Pine Woodlot Research and Management]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Environmental Studies]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Windy Pine property is a very uneven 25 acre plot with two large hills and most plants separated into species communities based on niche partitioning. Management of this forest is thus a challenge because most machines will have trouble on the hills and profitable trees are surrounded by trees of less value. To manage the forest while keeping to the goals of the project, it will be necessary to monitor the land for diseases, invasive plants and trees that may pose a safety hazard to visitors. To do this, the authors of the paper propose to build a trail network in the forest to help researchers keep the forest healthy and allow guests from either the cottages or surrounding areas to explore and learn from the land. We propose that to keep with the goals of the project, the land should be logged only to promote health of the forest and carried out with animals such as horses to minimize impact on soil and plants. Trails would be developed by a summer student technician who would follow the Haliburton Highlands Trails and Tour Network trail making outline. As well, interpretive and informative signs and bird lookout areas can be created to educate visitors about Windy Pine and the way the forest is managed. The report also contains information on identification and removal of invasive species in the Haliburton region.]]></dcterms:abstract>
