Elgin Middlesex Chapter Newsletter February 2020 Elgin Middlesex Chapter Newsletter February 2020 Fellow OWA member. It has taken a while to get this all together but here is your chapter newsletter with some items that hopefully you will participate in and think about. I encourage you to take a more active role in your chapter and the OWA. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or issues. Ron Casier, Past President Annual General Meeting of the EMWOA The Executive is putting together an interesting variety of speakers for our AGM that we hope you find relevant to your woodlot. The date is Saturday, March 28, 2020 from 12:00 Noon to 4:00 PM at the Lambeth United Church Hall at 4268 Colonel Talbot Rd, London, ON N6P 1A2, just north of Main St. in Lambeth. Full details for the AGM Agenda will be found below. Mark down the date and the new location on your calendar. Admission is free and the meeting is open to anyone interested in forestry or woodlots. Please feel free to bring along friends and invite other woodlot owners and neighbours to attend. They do not have to be members although they would be welcome to join. It would be great to fill the hall and expand our chapter! We are looking for any members who wish to make a brief presentation on any woodlot related topic during the Members Forum. Share your knowledge or experience with your woodlot with your fellow members. Last year, Doug Dennis presented on his largest and best trees from his Woodlot followed by a brief presentation regarding Oak Wilt. If you are interested please contact Ron Casier. South West Woodlot Association AGM Reminder of the SWWA AGM and Information Day on Saturday, February 29, 1:00-4:00 PM at the Brooke-Alvinston-Inwood Community Centre Complex. The meeting is open to anyone with an interest in trees or forests. Admission free.

Go Wild Grow Wild Expo 2020 Visit our OWA Chapter’s display at the Carolinian Canada Coalition’s Go Wild Grow Wild Expo at the Western Fair District Agriplex, London on Saturday, April 18, 2020, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM. Lots of interesting exhibitors and interests for the whole family ELECTION NOTICE Elgin Middlesex WOA. The following constitute your current executive: Stan Caveney, President; Gordon Keane, First Vice-President; Ron Casier, Past President; Ron Drabick, Treasurer; Director Greg Greer (Elgin); Director Doug Dennis (Elgin), Director Gary Austin (Middlesex). Under our constitution, we require directors from every municipality of Elgin and Middlesex. Elgin municipalities are represented except for Southwold. There is a definite need for additional volunteers to step forward to represent the Middlesex portion of our chapter. The chapter would also someone welcome stepping into the role of Second Vice President which has been vacant this past year. Would all members please consider sitting on the executive as a director. Arrange to have someone nominate you or nominate yourself prior to or at the AGM. If you have any questions or a nomination, please contact Ron Casier at 519 318 5279 or [email protected] I will be happy to discuss the executive positions. For this year’s election at the AGM, all the current executive have agreed to stand for their term. Nominations from the floor will accepted. On that note the position of Second Vice-President will be open for nominations at the upcoming AGM as well as a number of directors. OWA Request for Volunteers The provincial Executive and board which includes all chapter presidents or their designate has requested a minimum of three names from each chapter to sit on various committees of the OWA. This will garner broader support and better representation of all regions in the organization and enhance ongoing efforts at the provincial level. There is a variety of committees listed on the OWA website which may interest you. Almost all committee work is done by teleconferencing so does not involve travelling to meetings. If you are interested in being involved at the OWA level please contact Ron Casier at 519 631 5279 or [email protected] OWA Woodlot Conference and AGM Reminder of the upcoming 27th OWA Woodlot Conference and AGM at Niagara-on-the-Lake on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 (Tours) and Wednesday, April 22, 2020 (Conference/AGM). This year’s theme is ‘Our Valuable Woodlots’. REMEMBER TO REGISTER for the tours and conference SOON on the OWA site! Ontario Woodlands Appreciation Week 2020 NEW! May 3 to May 9 Woodlot owners make up a tiny percentage of Ontario's population, but their forests provide services to society that undoubtedly would be set at billions of dollars. And so, the OWA Board has declared May 3 to 9, 2020, as Ontario Woodlands Appreciation Week (OWAW) and is asking our membership to plan activities in their woodlots that celebrate good stewardship of this essential natural resource. Nowadays, a lot of attention is being paid to the importance of creating new forests to mitigate the effects of climate change. While the OWA supports this approach, it also believes that we need to properly manage our existing forests to ensure the long term environmental, aesthetic, and economic benefits that they provide to all society. The OWA also recognizes that in the south half of the province, these forests are usually owned by ordinary citizens or families. We need to spread the word about that tiny percentage of the population that has the job of being stewards of Ontario's non-Crown forests; their fascination with trees and their efforts to “do the right thing”. Our first partner in this endeavour is Birds Canada. They have set up a portal on their website where OWA members can register and report findings of stick and cavity nests. This important data will help Birds Canada compile more comprehensive data on various species that inhabit the interior forest. Input from our members will be tabulated separately so the OWA will be credited with their contribution to this citizen science initiative. Whether it is an individual exercise (take a selfie with your favourite tree), a group or chapter activity (woods walk or tree planting), or a partnership with a like-minded organization, get out there and do something. The Thames Talbot Land Trust and Nature London have woodland hikes planned in Middlesex and Elgin counties for the weekend of May 9 and 10, which are open to the public. EMWOA members and their families are welcome to participate. So keep the weekend free! One of the primary mandates of the OWA is to promote “healthy, productive woodlots”. With your help, we'll be able to put a face on that message as well. For more information contact Stan Caveney at 519-472-6103.

  • Southern Ontario Bald Eagle Monitoring Program
    Southern Ontario Bald Eagle Monitoring Program 2011 Summary Report Photo: Mark Bacro March 2012 Jody Allair Bird Studies Canada P.O. Box 160. 115 Front Street Port Rowan, Ontario, N0E 1M0, Canada www.birdscanada.org BACKGROUND Prior to European settlement, the Great Lakes supported a healthy population of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). An estimated 200 pairs nested from the Ottawa River to the lower Great Lakes, and the density of Bald Eagle nests (active and inactive) may have reached as high as one per mile of shoreline along Lake Erie (Weekes 1974). However, loss of nesting and foraging habitat through the clearing of land for agriculture, along with direct human persecution, led to a rapid decline in the Great Lakes population in the early 1900s (reviewed in Austen et al. 1994). The introduction of protective legislation, including the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources’ Game and Fish Act in 1890, and the American Bald Eagle Act in 1940 helped the southern Ontario population rebound to approximately 100 pairs by 1950 (Weekes 1974). Unfortunately, this recovery was short-lived, due to the introduction of synthetic chlorinated compounds such as DDT and PCBs into the Great Lakes aquatic food chain. Bioaccumulation of DDT (and its breakdown product DDE) in the bodies of adults led to reproductive failure through eggshell thinning and embryo death (Donaldson et al. 1999). The Bald Eagle population in the Great Lakes basin declined almost to the point of extirpation in the 1960s (reviewed in Donaldson et al. 1999). Although Canada and the US severely restricted the use of DDT in the 1970s, the effects lingered on for many more years.

  • Long Point Bird Observatory Fact Sheet
    Long Point Bird Observatory Fact Sheet Welcome to LPBO The Long Point Bird Observatory (LPBO) is North America’s oldest bird observatory. It was founded in 1960 by the Ontario Bird Banding Association. Subsequent regional and national expansions of LPBO programs resulted in the founding of Birds Canada (BIRDS CANADA) in 1998. LPBO is now a program of BIRDS CANADA and a founding partner of the Canadian Migration Monitoring Network. LPBO fosters and promotes investigative studies, training and education in field ornithology and bird conservation, as well the appreciation of birds and other aspects of natural history in the Long Point area. LPBO runs five major projects that volunteers may participate in: Migration Monitoring Program (April 1-June 15 and August 15-November 15) Tree Swallow Project (May-early July) Breeding Bird Census (late May-June) Doug Tarry Natural History Fund’s Young Ornithologist Workshop and Young Ornithologist Internship (August) Collaborative and Independent Research Program LPBO lies within an area of high biodiversity and ecological value. Long Point is the world’s longest freshwater sand spit, stretching 40 km into Lake Erie, the thirteenth largest lake on Earth. Long Point is part of a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation World Biosphere Reserve, a Ramsar Wetland of International Significance, an International Monarch Butterfly Reserve, and an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area. Much of the point and the surrounding wetlands are protected by Long Point and Big Creek National Wildlife Areas, Long Point Provincial Park, as well as privately owned and managed lands of the Long Point Company. At least 95 animals and dozens of plants which are designated as Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, the Canadian Species at Risk Act or the Ontario Endangered Species Act occur at Long Point or on the surrounding Norfolk Sandplain.
