Winter 2025 Activities

Over the winter, the Conservation Authority has undergone a tree inventory. We have collected data on tree species, height, health, and invasive plants. There are 162 study areas across the preserve properties, surveying once every 150 metres. We will use this data to understand forest composition, and to inform future management.

So far, we have found lots of poplars, willows, and cedars. We have also found several invasive plants and pests including dog-strangling vine, common buckthorn, and emerald ash borer.
