With a gift to HSC, you can help protect critical wildlife habitat.
The MyFieldApp, developed by 8Trees Inc, allows users to quickly collect information on an observed species and assist with the identification. The information collected is reviewed and distributed to Ontario's conservation data centre (Natural Hertigate Information Centre) to help assist tracking the province's biodiversity. Observations also assist a large network of conservation partners, including Haldimand Stewardship Council, in understanding the local knowledge of species, distribution, and their habitats and threats.
The Haldimand Stewardship Council is dedicated to enhancing climate resilience through the restoration of native grasslands within Lake Erie and Niagara River watersheds. By focusing on marginally operable or abandoned agricultural lands, our initiative aims to engage landowners and community members in stewardship activities that promote the protect, restoration, and conservation of vital ecosystems.
We will collaborate with landowners to develop individualized site plans and facilitate the conversion of these lands into thriving native grasslands, complemented by monitoring efforts to evaluate success.
Our project objectives include selecting high-priority restoration sites, developing individualized site plans with landowners, and facilitating habitat conversions. We will conduct pre- and post-restoration monitoring to evaluate plant and habitat quality, ensuring effective outcomes.
To sustain these efforts, we will establish 15-year stewardship agreements with landowners, outlining responsibilities for maintaining restored habitats.
