◊ Background
◊ Ecology
◊ Significant Identified Species
◊ Species at Risk
◊ Identified Eco-sites
◊ Bio-indicators
◊ Surveying & Monitoring Tools
◊ Resources
This report will aid in fulfilling the following goals as stated by the HHLT:
◊ Understand the range of possibilities for surveying and monitoring natural areas and the extent of such experiences in Ontario
◊ Identify the information available and needed to design surveys and monitoring programs using permanent sample plots for Ontario natural areas
◊ Explore options for a long-term partnership between Trent
