In Part Two, the logging of the pine forests in Haliburton in the 1850s is outlined with specific reference to the role of government in this expansion of logging and settlement into the area and the story of the Canadian Land and Emigration Company with its goal of promoting and selling lots for settlement. In less than 30 years, the land was virtually depleted of this valuable resource with little interest being shown by government in reforestation efforts until 1913 when the report titled the Trent Watershed Survey presented the devastation of the land and recommended solutions. The conclusion to the paper proposes a look at the role society's structure and values play in such environmental catastrophes and presents suggestions for further research.]]> Departments: Canadian Studies and Environmental Studies]]> Managing Garlic Pests in Haliburton County]]> Part II: Citizen Science and Community Collaboration

Lita O’Halloran]]> Kushog Lake Identification and Inflow Analysis: Year 3]]> Centre for Community Based Research, this report is a summary of year three
of a multi-year project ground truthing all inflows into Kushog Lake. As the third
and final report in the ground truthing process, results of inflow verification along
the eastern shore, south of Ox Narrows, are detailed to confirm locations as
identified in the Glenside Ecological Services report, Kushog Lake Watershed:
Wetland and Stream Desktop Analysis (Heaven, 2011). New inflows absent from
the initial report are also mapped and analyzed, and locations and data for all
inflows identified throughout the life of the project (2011-14) are compiled for
review and comparison. Biomonitoring of benthic macroinvertebrates using the
Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) protocol continues the monitoring
of previous years, sampling three reference sites established in 2011-2012, and
initiating sampling at three new reference sites.]]> Devon Hennessy

The research was conducted over the 2003-2004 academic year and begins with a literature review of employment opportunities offered on an international, national, provincial, and county scale. Primary research, collected through telephone surveys with local employers, sets out to determine: what employers know about apprentice programs in the trades, which businesses currently offer such opportunities, what barriers exist to such programming, and what employers are looking for in apprenticeship training. Results are presented and analyzed and recommendations proposed to better facilitate such training programs.]]> Host contact: Babbs, Trevor]]> Department: Geography]]> Loon Artificial Nesting Platforms]]> Gardening

]]> Settlement history of a resort property

]]>
This settlement history follows a small plot of land in the Haliburton Highlands from its use as a camping site for Algonquin Indians in the years prior to 1850, to a cottage resort in 2003. During this 153-yer period, the cultural landscape of this lot has changed a great deal. Moving from a wilderness in every semse of the word, to open farmland, to a resort where the wilderness is slowly moving back onto the lot, although a much more "tamed" version of wilderness. Through all the physical and cultural changes that have occured on this small plot of land on the shores of Lake Kashagawigamog one characteristic has remained: the nature of hospitality th owners have all shown, and the pride they take in sharing the beautiful Haliburton County with others.]]> Host contact: Gage, Marie]]> Department: Geography]]>
