2009 ANNUAL REPORT

Message from the Chair

It’s been an exciting time for the Stewardship Council. More people are getting connected to nature and becoming active participants thanks to the work of our Council and many environmental partners.

I would like to convey my thanks to the Council and all those active urban and rural groups for our great results. As our area continues to evolve, our success stories confirm again and again that important work can be done by a few enthusiastic individuals with a little technical and financial support.

Stewardship is, after all, about partnerships and making connections between our natural environment, people who work the land, and those who wish to ensure a healthy and sustainable future for all Ottawa residents, both humans and wild. It is, therefore, truly an honour and privilege to represent the Ottawa Stewardship Council as its Chair and I encourage all those of similar interests to join with us to promote a responsible, clean, green and beautiful Ottawa. Together we’re better!

Robin Wentzel

1 Message from the Coordinator

As a coordinator, I have had the great privilege of meeting and working with a wide variety of caring and dedicated individuals. People who are committed to helping others to strive for a better appreciation of our public and privately held lands, water, forests and wildlife.

Whether you volunteer for a community project, restore habitat in your own backyard, spend time cleaning up streambeds or planting trees, you can make a lasting and positive difference to our natural environment through the Ottawa Stewardship Council program.

As we reflect on our accomplishments over the past year, it is important to celebrate the many community partnerships within the stewardship family that have contributed to a healthier environment across the landscape. We are always looking for new partnerships, ideas and volunteers. I encourage you to contact us if you would like more information on any of our projects or if you want to become involved.

PROJECT: Petrie Island Turtle Nesting Habitat Project

Petrie Island is a known nesting site for at least three SAR (Species at risk) turtle species: Northern Map, Blanding’s, and Snapping. Midland Painted Turtles (non- designated) also nest on the island. Stinkpot Turtles, designated as threatened,

8 have been sighted on the island, but have not been observed nesting. For more than a century, the natural habitat of the island has been subject to human- caused stresses, including flooding from the Carillon dam, commercial sand extraction, subsidized predators (raccoons), and more recently, recreational development.

Role / Contribution: These stresses impact on nesting habitat. In order to help mitigate these stresses, the Ottawa Stewardship Council, with its partners, enhanced and expanded an existing turtle nesting site in an area that was less exposed to high human use. The objective was to attract nesting turtles to this area and thereby promote better hatchling survival. The OSC oversaw the preparation of the site, which was monitored over the summer in order to determine the extent to which it is being used for turtle nesting. The impact of predation and other disturbances on the site was also monitored.

Results / Accomplishments: See project report at http://www.easternontariostewardship.org/ottawa/Nesting Site Project Report 2009.pdf.

PROJECT: Petrie Island Stewardship Plan

The purpose of the Petrie Island Stewardship Plan is to recommend a strategic framework for the environmentally responsible and sustainable management and development of the Petrie Islands and mainland (Urban Natural (UNA) 92). The goal is to maintain, protect, and (where feasible) enhance: x the natural areas and wetlands of the Islands which are highly valued for their biodiversity x the ’s riparian and aquatic resources in the area while allowing an appropriate and sustainable level of public access, passive daytime recreational use year-round, and enjoyment of the Islands.

10 The plan was presented to the Ottawa Forest and Greenspace Advisory Committee (OFGAC) in November 2007. OFGAC recommended that the City of Ottawa Parks and Recreation Branch work with FOPI and the OSC to finalize and implement the Stewardship plan. The City will be initiating an update of the Master Development Plan for Petrie Island in 2010. It is expected that the Stewardship plan will be addressed as part of this update. The OSC will continue to work closely with the City and with FOPI in order to promote the timely implementation of the Stewardship plan.

Role / Contribution: The Stewardship plan was developed as joint effort of the OSC and the Friends of Petrie Island. It builds on a strong existing framework of municipal environmental management practices, volunteer engagement, and existing natural resource inventories and studies.

Results / Accomplishments: The Stewardship Plan was circulated to City of Ottawa Departments for consideration as part of the Petrie Island Master Plan development process in 2010.
