The Niagara Escarpment rises about 70 metres above the creek, providing a unique combination of geo- logieal and ecological fea- tures. The tablelands are pre- dominantly covered in de- ciduous forests, oresta- tion fields, wetlands, talus slopes and creeks. Signifi- cant environmental fea- tures include the présence of ancient cedar old-growth forest, exposures of provin- cially rare geological for- mations and a diversity of HR RRR NRIs Rds escarpment plant and ani- mal species. Annual park visits are about 500,000 recreational users, including approxi- mately 160,000 summer vis- itors and 338,000 winter ski- er/snowboard enthusiasts. Park operation costs, in- cluding maintenance and capital expenditures, have + traditionally been funded maintenance costs for flood control facilities, which are supported through munici- pal tax levies. Halton's seven conser- vation areas receive more than 750,000 visits annually and essentially function as a regional park system. "However, without addi- tional funding for capital and servicing upgrades, this park system is chal- lenged to meet both cur- rent.and anticipated visita- tion demands," states the Conservation Halton web- site.
