    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This research conducts a comprehensive literature review on anthropogenic land uses and their impacts on oligotrophic and mesotrophic inland lakes relating to the water quality of upper Stoney Lake. A common consensus within the literature points to the importance of education, reducing the use and reliance of pesticides at the local golf course and watershed-scale, and reconsidering North American cosmetic standards for golf courses, in reducing the impacts of pesticides applied to golf courses on watersheds. This review has provided direct evidence that application timing and rates of synthetic fertilizers on golf course turfs influence the degree to which nutrients like Nitrogen and Phosphorus are found in concentrated amounts within stormwater effluent draining these sites. These findings may be significant in informing golf course land use regulation within the Upper Stoney Lake watershed, or the watershed of other oligotrophic and mesotrophic lakes globally. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In 2007 the FoodNet organization was created to establish a network in Haliburton County that worked on issues related to food security. The network allows for the sharing of information and resources across these various organizations to increase the impact they have in the community. There are 17 members that make up FoodNet, whose activities range from emergency food provision to capacity building and redesign of the food system. The organizations also focus on all age demographics from infants and pregnant mothers, to seniors. This report is the conclusion of five months of intensive research and investigation into the issues FoodNet faces in Haliburton County. These issues are: defining what food insecurity is, how best to address the problem of food insecurity, and which are the best practices that network organizations use. In assessing these issues a number of methodologies were used including literature review, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and review of the networks archived notes. The report highlights the aspects of food insecurity that are most vital to consider, as well as a review of members views on FoodNet’s activities and evaluator observations. Based on the report’s findings a list of recommendations are included to improve the performance of the food security activities undertaken and the functioning of the network]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Active transportation (AT) is a mode of transportation that is propelled by human power and does not include motorized vehicles. The leading organization that strives to develop and promote AT initiatives for Haliburton County is called the Communities in Action Committee (CIA). The goal of CIA is to raise physical activity levels through active transportation promotion &amp; planning in rural towns such as Haliburton and Minden Ontario. The CIA Committee has done most of its work in these towns for which employment is highly seasonal. The seasonality of jobs and population size affects residents, some of which may be unable to attain full time employment, improvements to AT would reduce car use and thus the cost of living. Both towns are also located in a rural area, with the nearest metropolis, Toronto, about two and half hours, 200km, away and the nearest City, Peterborough, about 90 minutes away. The small size and rural nature make them perfect for implementing quick progressive changes. The goal of this paper is to examine the concept of AT in rural settings and investigate ways to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of AT initiatives. To do this, the tools and methods that can measure changes in participant use of active transportation will be explored through a literature review. Following this, an analysis of results from a survey developed by the CIA (distributed in October and November 2011) will be conducted with interpretations and compared to the results of a similar survey carried out in 2007. Finally, future improvements to the active transportation environment will be provided based on the findings from the recent survey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Environmental Studies]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Windy Pine property is a very uneven 25 acre plot with two large hills and most plants separated into species communities based on niche partitioning. Management of this forest is thus a challenge because most machines will have trouble on the hills and profitable trees are surrounded by trees of less value. To manage the forest while keeping to the goals of the project, it will be necessary to monitor the land for diseases, invasive plants and trees that may pose a safety hazard to visitors. To do this, the authors of the paper propose to build a trail network in the forest to help researchers keep the forest healthy and allow guests from either the cottages or surrounding areas to explore and learn from the land. We propose that to keep with the goals of the project, the land should be logged only to promote health of the forest and carried out with animals such as horses to minimize impact on soil and plants. Trails would be developed by a summer student technician who would follow the Haliburton Highlands Trails and Tour Network trail making outline. As well, interpretive and informative signs and bird lookout areas can be created to educate visitors about Windy Pine and the way the forest is managed. The report also contains information on identification and removal of invasive species in the Haliburton region.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study focuses on the declining population of loon chicks in Bob and Little Bob Lake, located in Haliburton County, Ontario. Despite the presence of breeding pairs, residents have observed a significant decrease in the number of loon chicks over the past few years, raising concerns about potential underlying issues.  To address this, several suggestions for future actions are proposed within this report. Raising awareness about the decline in the loon population is crucial, and educational efforts targeting residents can inspire them to take actions to mitigate threats such as litter or boat wake. Implementing signage in vulnerable areas, similar to successful initiatives on Miskwabi Lake, can contribute to protecting the loons. By implementing these suggested measures, it is hoped that the declining population of loon chicks in Bob and Little Bob Lake can be addressed and reversed, ensuring the long-term conservation of these iconic bird species. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This research project examined the definitions of various areas of geography which were core related to the development and implementation of managed campsites throughout the Township of Minden Hills and the broader County of Haliburton. Human, recreational, rural, cultural and regional geography were examined with regards to the spaces, places, landscapes and relationships the community of Minden Hills had with the four parks in question of becoming managed campgrounds; Minden Fairgrounds, Rotary Park, Snowdon Park, and Furnace Falls. This research represents a viable option of developing managed campsites within the Township of Minden Hills. The purpose of this project was to determine the feasibility of said campsite development, where geographical research that utilizes literature on five core areas of geography was discussed in detail. The methodology of this project was telephone surveys, numerous property explorations, and countless hours spent reviewing the analysis of our data. The project concluded that two of the four sites, Minden Fairgrounds and Furnace Falls are viable to be developed into managed campsites. The information gained from key stakeholders provides an outline of the feasibility of developing campsites which is to be taken on by the host organization.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[HHLT Species at Risk]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[The Barnum Creek, Dahl Forest and Barry Wetland properties of Haliburton Highlands Land Trust are valuable habitats for species that require wetlands, now more than ever due to the rapid decrease in wetlands in Canada over recent years, especially in Ontario (Eamer et al., 2010). The aim of this paper is to use a literature review to identify species-at-risk that could be found within these wetlands, describe their characteristics and habitat requirements, and to outline some recommendations for managing their habitat . It was found that there could possibly be 10 species-at-risk within these locations, those being: Bank Swallows (Riparia riparia), Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica), Blanding’s Turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), Golden-winged Warblers (Vermivora chrysoptera), Least Bitterns (Ixobrychus exilis), Little Brown Myotis’ (Myotis lucifigus), Rusty Blackbirds (Euphagus carolinus), Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina), Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata), and Western Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris triseriata). The main management recommendations are to where possible, protect and maintain upland habitat surrounding wetlands from disturbance, especially clear-cut logging, and to carefully plan development so as to not degrade or fragment the wetland environments.]]></dcterms:subject>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this community-based research project was to use existing information about the past and present state of the Kennisis Lake fishery in order to inform the structure and focus of a fisheries management plan. Through developing a better understanding the history and current state of the lake; issues of concern; and the various needs of different community groups and stake holders; we have been able to create a set of recommendations for future projects and research that would support the development of a sustainable fishery on Kennisis Lake. As the stewardship of lakes is increasingly downloaded to the community, it is vital that a lake management plan be based on the integration of scientific recommendations and community objectives.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[According to Environment Canada (2006) in 2000, GHG emissions from Canada’s waste sector totaled 24 megatons of carbon dioxide, representing about 3% of Canada&#039;s total emissions in 2000. The primary source of these emissions is from solid waste disposal on land, which contributes 93% of the total sector emissions; much smaller contributions come from wastewater handling and waste incineration (6% and 1%, respectively). This project is in response to a request by Environment Haliburton to study Greenhouse Gas reduction strategies in Haliburton County, by reviewing current waste management techniques and providing solutions for future waste management strategies. These possible techniques and strategies examined include: bag limits, clear garbage bags, increasing diversion rates, education programs, and various scales of composting. The report also includes information on external funding sources that could be used to advance programs in these areas. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

Results were inconclusive, but revealed that there is likely some form of disturbance taking place within the lake. The report recommends additional years of sampling take place in order to determine the health of the lake with greater certainty.]]></dcterms:abstract>
