Last summer. it focused on Burlington and Oakville. Thie $500,000 project is being conducted by Halton/Nortb Peel Naturalists' Club, Hamilton Naturalists' Club and South Peel Naturalists' Club. Data collectors are inspecting public and private land to, take stock of what flora and fauna exists. 10tî help us gain a better understanding of Haltons natural areas and help us pro- tect theni, said Jill Dwyer, project co-ordi- nator. -'here are so few of tbem lcft, as Milton is developed. tt's important to protect what's remaining." By the end of the project next year, there will be a current biological inventory of alI signiftcant habitats in Halton. 'his infor- mation can btc used by the public and agen- cies when making decisions conceming thc envirooment. "'Mis is the first one (study) where we look at aIl natural areas in Halton on a com- prehensive level,' Ms Dwyer said. Thne approximately 120 homeowncrs with land that falîs within the study's boundaries will be asked if they want to participatc and can give their consent by mailing back a form.Ti gives permnission for one or two volunteers fromt the natural- ist clubs to make one or two visits to the propcrty for a couple of hours each in the late spring or summer, Ms Dwyer explained. The data collectors will take note of birds, butterflies, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and plants found and will ceave evcrthingjust as it was when thcy arîived, Ms Dwyer satd. "One of our main goals is to respect tandowners' rigbts," she said. Unfortunaely last sommer, the majority of Oakville and Burlington landowners chose tiot to participate in the study. "Because we're dcaling with private landowners, it (the study) depcnds on them to be successfol." Ms Dwyer said. "If we don't receive permission, we ssill not visit their land. Thatïs important to understand." One of the benefits to, participants is they can request a list of the plants and animaIs in their ares once the study is complete. Although thcy're not spccitically looking for endangered species, Ms Dwycr said projcct participants expcct t0 ftnd some, especially since last year's data collectors found a numbcr of provincially and nation- ally rare bis, buttertiies and plants. 'Documenting rare species is important," she said. The projeet's partners include thc Region of Halton and thc Town of Milton plus a number of other organizations and munici- palities. Conservation 'Halton (CH) has leant financial support and is hclping witb administration. Brenda Axon, CH's manag- er of watcrshed planning services, said the study's complcted document will help deci- sion-makers decide, for example, if devel- opmnent is appropriate in a certain ares or if it should be re-locatcd duc to a rare species living there. 'Itîl help us better undcrstand natural areas,' shte said, adding there are areas in Halton where no work of Ibis sort bas been donc before. "We want to, f11 in the gaps."
