The Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT), in partnership with The Land Between, is conducting field surveys to help improve our understanding of biodiversity in the County of Haliburton.
This new knowledge and information will be added to the HHLT’s database and will be used to support conservation planning for the County of Haliburton.
The data also will be submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources/Natural Heritage Information Center to support conservation planning at the provincial level.
If you would like to help document the rich ecological diversity and identify some of the rare species in the County of Haliburton, you can do so by emailing information to Paul Heaven at pheaven@glenside-eco.ca or by calling him at 705-286-3181.
We are most interested in sightings of Species at Risk. To see what Haliburton’s dozen SAR species look like, please click on the Gallery headings below.
For detailed written descriptions of each species, please click on http://www.rom.on.ca/ontario/risk.php?region=4.
These species are difficult to find, so we want to hear about all sightings.
If you see one “dead or alive” while driving the roads of Haliburton County, please note the road name and the closest emergency numbers (e.g. between #_______ and #_________).
If you have a camera, take a photo. If you have a GPS unit, take the position. If you have flagging tape, flag the location and call Paul and he will come out to photograph and GPS the site.
Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to hearing from you!
