Species At Risk
Introducing...HHLT’s 3rd Species at Risk Journal
HHLT is pleased to announce that binders of its 3rd Edition Species at Risk Journal are now available for purchase.
The 3rd edition is the result of in-depth studies of the county’s wildlife and includes eight newly listed at risk species with the original 13 of the 1st and 2nd journals. The journal, $25.00 including HST, is now in an easy-to-update binder where Species at Risk information pages can be easily added or –hopefully- removed in the future. Once again, the journals contain sighting pages for the public to record observations of Species at Risk.
The Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT) is a leading local organization in Species at Risk inventory and education, and in defining their distribution and habitat.
Public sightings in 2010 resulted in 111 new Species at Risk observation reports. In addition, there were 133 species at risk observations obtained through field work and combined with research projects.
From 2008 to 2010, HHLT has increased the number of documented SAR observations in the county by 465% - thanks in great part to community sightings!

This journal was written by Paul C. Heaven of Glenside Ecological Services and produced by the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust (HHLT). It is the result of research by HHLT on Species at Risk (SAR) in Haliburton County. This research was generously funded by the MNR Species at Risk Stewardship Fund, 2007-08 and 2008-09. It was also supported by the Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council and The Land Between.
Many individuals in Haliburton County reported their sightings of SAR to the Land Trust and Paul C. Heaven, biologist/ecological consultant, spent countless hours in the field trying to verify the presence of SAR. Leora Berman, Manager of the Land Between and Ed Poropat also contributed to the fieldwork.
As a result of everyone's work, HHLT was able to raise the number of documented SAR sightings in Haliburton County from 75 to 182. This represents an increase of 142%. Learning more about the County’s biodiversity has helped HHLT formulate a natural heritage planning strategy.
HHLT hopes that its new Species at Risk Journal encourages the public to learn more about the rich ecological diversity in Haliburton County. Two sample pages for the Eastern Hog-nosed Snake are posted below. The Journal describes the 13 Species at Risk in Haliburton County. There are great colour photos of each species combined with information on the species status in Ontario, habitat preferences and threats to survival.
Journals sell for $25 each. All proceeds go to support the HHLT with its mission to protect the natural heritage of Haliburton County for future generations.
