Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This study aims to determine the best practices for Eurasian watermilfoil control, the methods that have the best chance of success, and the most cost-effective solutions, while also focusing on how coconut fibre mats differ from burlap mats as a bottom barrier control technique. A thorough examination of over 30 peer-reviewed articles discussing Eurasian watermilfoil outbreaks in different areas and their control methods to eradicate such outbreaks were used. Nine methods of control were discovered through these articles, each vastly different in terms of time, effort, cost, equipment, and required knowledge for use. The methods of control described herein include rototilling, hand harvesting, bottom barriers, the milfoil weevil, lake drawdown, grass carp, suction harvesting, herbicides, and an integrated approach using two or more of the methods. Hand harvesting was one of the most cost-effective control methods for small areas, while bottom barriers were among the most cost-effective options for larger areas. The use of Euhrychiopsis lecontei, the milfoil weevil, was an option proven effective for use in the same region as Drag and Spruce Lakes and less costly than some other methods. This study has found that an integrated approach using hand harvesting and bottom barriers seems to be the most cost- and time-effective technique because it allows for optimal results in specific areas as needed without long-term harmful effects to native species. This integrated approach would also allow the Drag and Spruce Lakes Property Owners Association to continue providing their services and programming without significant lake access disruptions.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Calcium is a vital nutrient for plant growth and ecosystem function, both aquatic and terrestrial. The decline of calcium in lakes and soils is occurring in watersheds across the boreal shield, as a result of acid deposition and land use practices such as silviculture. The decline of calcium is concerning because it can cause major changes to food webs and ecosystem functioning. Nutrient contents in catchment soils are connected to the levels seen in lakes through interactions between soil surfaces and surface waters in the riparian zones of watersheds, as well as the biological, geological, and meteorological processes occurring throughout the watershed.
In response to the concerns over calcium decline expressed by members of the KLCA, a literature review was conducted in 2019 to raise awareness for the mechanisms, consequences, and mitigation options of calcium decline. Building on that momentum, this study seeks to assess the current state of calcium pools in the Kawagama Lake watershed and make recommendations for mitigation efforts.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this research was to assess the interests and capacity of the local community for undertaking local climate change mitigation activities. To accomplish this, the researchers set out to identify opinion leaders in Haliburton County and interview them to develop an in-depth understanding of climate change in the County. Our primary goal was to understand the level of threat posed by climate change as perceived by opinion leaders in the Haliburton County community. Our second goal was to examine what level of community-led action these opinion leaders feel is necessary, and what they would be willing to support. Our final goal was to find out what the key barriers are to initiating and sustaining community-led action against climate change in Haliburton, and how these barriers might be overcome. These goals were based on the research questions posed initially by the hosts. This study was also guided by other formative questions, like a) What are “the key sectors of the community”? b) Who are “the opinion leaders” within each of those sectors? and c) Do the answers to the research questions vary significantly within or across sectors and, if so, why? This study yielded some interesting findings that have the potential to inform future research on the same or related topics. The common concerns cited by participants were adverse economic effects and flooding resulting from climate change. The most common barrier to community-led action was difficulties with outreach, and the most widely supported solution for overcoming barriers was collaborative community actions. This report will begin with a brief overview of Haliburton County and a review of the literature on climate change mitigation.
