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 $20 each. All proceeds go to support the HHLT with its mission to protect the natural heritage of Haliburton County for future generations.
