Abstract

This paper is an outgrowth of previous work on the creation of the Haliburton Highlands Bioregional Atlas. Its purpose is to aid the Atlas Project in determining a process towards the completion of the final Atlas. It studies the existing literature on geographic regions, landscapes and bioregions as well as mapping natural and cultural landscapes.  Focus groups interview techniques were used to gather the Highlands residents' ideas and input towards the cultural aspects of their communities and the Highlands themselves.
