Sandbanks Vegetation Management Plan. Queen’s Printer for Ontario. 28 pp. + Appendices. i ii Summary of Key Management Recommendations All park staff involved with operations potentially affecting Sandbanks’ vegetation communities will be required to be familiar with this plan’s intent and specific directives. Operations and Maintenance Policies (Section 3.1) • Herbicide use is restricted and must be in compliance with provincial regulations (p. 12) • Herbicide use must be kept to a minimum, using suggested chemicals and avoiding areas where park visitors and staff may contact it (p. 12) • Unless it is unsafe to do so, windthrown and dead standing trees should be left in place as they serve important ecological functions. Refer to Appendix A for a decision guide (p. 13) • When woody material must be removed from the site, it will be used to create brush piles for restoration, chipped for trail maintenance, or salvaged for firewood (p. 13) • Native insect pest outbreaks and diseases are natural processes and should not be controlled unless significant values within or adjacent to the park are threatened or the pest is a recent invader to Ontario. Forest Health Unit and zone office staff must be consulted. (p. 14) • Fire management will be in accordance with existing policies and strategies (p. 15) • Mowing will be done to the least extent possible, and will not damage natural vegetation or trees. A mowing plan will be developed (p. 15) • Leaves and vegetation debris will be disposed of in a composting area (p. 15) • Native trees and shrubs from a local source will be used for landscaping (p. 16) Protection and Education Policies (Section 3.2) • Any proposed developments in nature reserve and natural environment zones require consultation with zone ecologist (p. 16) • Plant and seed collection must be approved through a research permit or an agreement with an Aboriginal user (p. 18) • The NHE program should continue to include messages about vegetation stewardship (p. 19) • All staff must ensure locations of species at risk are kept confidential (p. 16) Restoration Activities Policies (Section 3.3) • Habitat destruction in development zones will be assessed and mitigated where feasible. (p. 20) • Local native stock will be used for all planting and restoration in the park. (p. 20) Invasive and Exotic Species (Section 3.4) • Aggressive invasive species should be controlled when possible following approved guidelines. (p. 20) • Invasive species that may pose a threat to park environments should be monitored. (p. 20) • Test plots will be established to determine the threat of Purple Loosestrife (p. 21) • Many ornamental shrubs, periwinkle (myrtle), ground ivy, euphorbias, bellflower, orange day lily, and sweet violet must not be used in landscaping and should be removed where established (p. 21) iii Table of Contents 1.0 Introduction..............................................................................................................1 1.1.

Sandbanks Species List iv 1.0 Introduction This vegetation stewardship plan is intended to provide direction for management and stewardship activities at Sandbanks Provincial Park. It begins with the ecological and planning context for vegetation stewardship. The main community types found in the park, as well as the relevant successional processes, are described. An overview of general policies is provided before detailed policies are described for specific vegetation management units. 1.1. Location and Setting Sandbanks Provincial Park is an approximately 1600 ha Natural Environment class provincial park located in Prince Edward County (Figure 1), about 15 km southwest of the town of Picton. Sandbanks encompasses most of the county’s southwestern shoreline between the village of Wellington and Salmon Point. The park is a popular summer destination, with over 500,000 visitors for the 2005 operating season. The park is composed of three distinct land areas (Figure 2 – see insert): two large coastal baymouth bar formations joined by an intervening area of scenic rural land on a limestone peninsula. These three areas will be referred to as the West Lake Dunes, Woodlands/Agricultural, and Outlet sectors throughout this document in order to minimize confusion and remain consistent with the 1993 park management plan. 1.2. Regional Ecology & Sandbanks Overview Located in Ecodistrict 6E-15 (Picton), Sandbanks Provincial Park is situated at the southern edge of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region. The forest zone represents a transitional zone between the principally deciduous tree species to the south, west, and east and the coniferous forests to the north. The park’s vegetation is characteristic of this region, but some species are more commonly associated with the Deciduous Forest Region. The park is home to an extremely diverse range of other plants in a variety of ecosystems. Ecodistrict 6E-15 encompasses all of Prince Edward County, its archipelago of islands, and areas extending east along the Lake Ontario shoreline to the Kingston area. The ecodistrict is a shallowly covered plain of Ordovician limestone. Prince Edward County is essentially an island in Lake Ontario; its southern position and lake-buffered climate allow it to support many Carolinian species as well as a successful wine industry. The park encompasses significant coastal ecosystems and earth science features. The West Lake dunes (also referred to as the Sandbanks Coastal Sand Bar Dunes) comprise a provincially significant ANSI1, while the forested dunes and pannes2 of the 1 ANSI – Area of Natural and Scientific Interest: a systematically selected area containing landscapes or features identified as having values related to protection, natural heritage, scientific study, or education. Provincially significant ANSIs contain the best examples of landform or vegetation features of each ecodistrict. 2 panne:

  • Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes Within a Transboundary Complex: the Crown of the Continent
    Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes within a Transboundary Complex: The Crown of the Continent A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Community Planning In the School of Planning of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Keysha Fontaine B.S. University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013 Committee Chair: Craig M. Vogel, MID Committee Advisor: Danilo Palazzo, Ph.D, M.Arch ABSTRACT Protected areas are critical elements in restoring historical wildlife migration routes, as well as, maintaining historical cultural practices and traditions. The designations created for protected areas represent a cultural and/or natural aspect of the land. However, designations for the protection of these resources fail to include measures to take into account the ecological processes needed to sustain them. Ecological processes are vital elements in sustaining cultural resources, because most cultural resources are the derivatives of the interactions with natural resources. In order to sustain natural resources, especially wildlife, the processes of fluctuating habitat change and migration are pivotal in maintaining genetic diversity to maintain healthy populations with the fittest surviving. The survival of the fittest species allow populations to have greater adaptability in the face of climate change. Currently in the Crown of the Continent (COC), several non-profit organizations are collaborating under an umbrella initiative, the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative, to restore historical migration routes. The collaborators of this initiative performed ecological planning of the entire Yellowstone to Yukon region to identify impediments that may hinder wildlife movements.

    Algonquin Park is a very special place to many people. Although it is one of the oldest parks in Canada, in the heart of the Canadian Shield, and within easy driving distance of several million people, it still retains a wilderness character. Within its boundaries wolves still hunt moose and deer, beaver maintain dams and neotropical warblers raise their young deep in its pine, spruce and fir woodlands. In addition, the Park is the source of employment for many people who live nearby, both as a source of jobs within the Park, and as a result of the forest management that continues to provide wood for houses and other products made from trees.
