At Haliburton Forest, more than one leisure group frequently uses all trails within the forest. This makes it exceedingly difficult to assess the impacts created by each activity. The activities of off-road vehicles, especially the snowmobile purists, are now generating much publicity, most of it adverse.This report looks at the environmental impact of snowmobiling specifically with respect to noise levels and engine emissions. It also looks at the many cases of recreational conflict arising from clashes between recreations involving mechanized transport and those who practice the traditional non-mechanized pursuits.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Environment Studies,environmental impacts,forests,recreation,snowmobiling,tourism,trails",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/25018be89dfb4367ec9a1aee288a025c.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Recreation & Tourism",,"Haliburton County is a destination area for many types of outdoor recreation activities and residents and tourists engaging in these activities have an economic impact on the area. The purpose of this project is to gain an understanding of the relative economic impact of a number of different activities including; snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. The project includes secondary research on economic impact studies done in other areas and an overview of methods used to collect data. Students then developed a survey tool and conducted a pilot study focusing on winter activities. Finally the students refined a survey tool and developed a long-term implementation plan (to be initiated in the spring of 2009) for the collection of economic data on people participating in the outdoor activities listed above.

The final section presents a proposal for a 2003-2004 study of snowmobile noise pollution on white tailed deer disturbance and movement within Haliburton Forest, describing methods, equipment and sampling notes.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Environment Studies,Haliburton Forest,noise pollution,snowmobiling,trails,wildlife",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/3442c1006d2c516f6421c9563991de15.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

When unburned fuel from snowmobiles accumulates in the snow, it is released into the ecosystem, primarily during spring thaw. The purpose of this study is primarily to measure the extent of acid and pollution pulses during spring thaw in four differently impacted lakes in the Haliburton Forest. Using the collected and analyzed data, predictions of the effects of acid pulse on aquatic life and habitat in the Haliburton Forest can be made. Recommendations are proposed for future monitoring.","Trent University",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"aquatic habitat,Environment Studies,environmental impacts,lakes,pollution,snowmobiling",,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Environmental Impact Assessment",,"The effects of snowmobiling on terrestrial vegetation have indirect consequences on associated wildlife within an ecosystem. Impacts on primary producers are made manifest in cascading effects throughout the food web. These effects are implied on wildlife through changes in habitat or home range of wildlife. Various plant communities support a diverse range of different animals. Rapid alterations in composition or density of these communities could result in indeterminate upsets in wildlife populations. Snowmobiling has four main effects on terrestrial vegetation depicted through direct effects, resulting from mechanical damage and pollutants incurred from the snowmobile, and indirect effects, caused by snow compaction and alterations in soil.
Result highlight: less recognized within the variety of organisms that occupy an ecosystem are subnivean mammals. These are small mammals such as rodents, shrews, squirrels and voles that inhabit the sub layer of snow during cold months through underground tunneling and nesting. Concern arises as alterations to the habitat occur when passage of a snowmobile causes the snow to compact sufficiently to impose stress.",U-Links,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"environmental impacts,recreation,snowmobiling,tourism",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/8d2aee4ca7df4168e812d965faff5fa9.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

Central themes that emerge in the literature pertaining to the environmental impacts of snowmobiling include pollution associated with two-stroke engines primarily from the exhaust, noise pollution, water pollution, and air pollution specifically in the form of carbon monoxide.
With over fifty lakes and many ponds, streams and creeks, fishing adventures are an important aspect of Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve. As part of its multi-use management strategy, it is important to consider the impact of snowmobiling on the aquatic ecosystems found in Haliburton Forest. Specifically, the seasonal phenomenon of spring thaw acid pulse has been examined. Snowmobiling has been shown to have various impacts on water quality. The causes and effects of acid pulse have been examined as well as possible monitoring and mitigation techniques have been proposed. Although acute increases in acidity cause a variety of effects on various aquatic organisms, this report focused mainly on fish, as they are an important aspect of the revenue generated in Haliburton Forest.",U-Links,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"recreation. tourism,snowmobiling",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/f7ddab2586754b0cd35584d87851d52d.pdf,,"Trent University Bioregionalism Program (1990-2000)",1,0

Environmental impacts of snowmobiling
","Report addresses concerns of staff at Haliburton Forest regarding the environmental impacts of snowmobiling.","Episodic acidification events have been found to occur in fresh water lakes throughout North-eastern Cananda and the United States. In Ontario specifically, these events occur north of the Precambrian Shields southern boundary in a region that contains the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve Ltd. The determination of timing of specific events is difficult because of the ubiquitous nature of the event itself. Modelling of hydrographs and the acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) of the surface water, is suggested by some researchers as a method of predicting timing and duration of these events.
