Abstract
The following report has been written to assist Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT) in initiating an Odonata monitoring program on their properties. A list of 111 recorded species for Haliburton County along with a few other expected species (Poropat, 2020) make up what HHLT could expect to see on their properties during monitoring (Poropat, personal communication, September 24, 2020). Serving as a further foundation for a future program, records from a number of databases and reports were mined for observations of odonates on and around HHLT properties, resulting in lists for each property. Lastly, I provide some recommendations and considerations for establishing an Odonata monitoring program at HHLT, based on reviews of available protocols and published literature.
