Some of the NHIC-tracked elements (species and plant communities) found in The Land Between area of interest 6 SUMMARY This report presents findings from the first year of field work by the Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC) for The Land Between project. The main sites focused on in this year were the area south of the Severn River and west of Sparrow Lake and the area including and adjacent to the Somerville Forest, west of Kinmount. The areas visited in 2007 were a mix of Crown land, municipally-owned land, private land and land owned by non-governmental environmental organizations. Brief visits were made to other areas, the upper Crowe River watershed and portions of the former Longford Township, but the report on these areas will be included in the final report to be completed in late 2008. A number of partners are involved in The Land Between collaboration, including The Couchiching Conservancy; the Kawartha Heritage Conservancy; the NHIC; Land Trust for Frontenac, Kingston, Lennox and Addington; the University of Toronto; Fleming College; Trent University; William Allen; Bird Studies Canada and Ducks Unlimited. The NHIC has the role of facilitating access to natural heritage data for the project and assisting in filling some of the gaps in information that exist. Increasing pressures from iv Life Science Reconnaissance of Selected Sites in The Land Between, Interim Report cottage development, aggregate extraction, forestry and recreation lend some urgency to understanding the features present and taking appropriate conservation actions. After conducting field studies in 2008, the NHIC will produce a final report describing the natural heritage features and condition of all of the areas visited and will make recommendations on management and stewardship actions that would be beneficial. Both the Severn River and Somerville Forest areas offer excellent potential for further natural heritage protection and stewardship. They occupy a strategic position on the landscape to augment and support exisiting protected areas. There is a range of disturbance in both areas, but in general, the Severn River study area has fewer impacts. Based on studies to date, the Severn River area was found to have several provincially- tracked species, including one Atlantic Coastal Plain species and one provincially-tracked vegetation community. The Severn River study area is an excellent example of rock barrens and wetlands characteristic of Ecodistrict 5E-7. The Somerville/Ganaraska area supports a number of uncommon species, and so far one provincially-tracked species has been observed. The least-disturbed areas in the Somerville/Ganaraska area are the Altberg Reserve, owned and managed by Ontario Nature, the wetlands along the Corben Creek, and the Ganaraska Trail north of Highway 503. The Somerville Forest itself has patches of forest and wetland in a natural state but also has large areas that have been altered by forest management practices. Both study areas provide important ecological functions, including the provision of wildlife habitat, buffering of nearby protected areas, maintaining water quantity and quality. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors would like to thank the following people for their assistance, especially Ian Attridge, Leora Berman and Ron Reid for encouraging our involvement in this project. Chris Kaloudis accompanied us on several field trips and provided hospitality in Burnt River. Gayle Carlyle provided mapping on land tenure in the Severn River area. Gillian Marshall assisted with field work in the Severn River study area. Mike Oldham reviewed plant specimens collected and helped with identification. Simon Dodsworth created the maps using NHIC element occurrence data and boundary data provided by Leora Berman. Bob Bowles provides some helpful advice when we met on the Orimat Road one day. Peter Alley, who, sadly, passed away in December of 2006, developed the concept of The Land Between and was an eloquent spokesperson for its unique values and conservation challenges. v Life Science Reconnaissance of Selected Sites in The Land Between, Interim Report 1. INTRODUCTION The Land Between is a term coined by Peter Alley (Alley 2003) to describe the area of transition along and adjacent to the contact line between the limestone bedrock of southern Ontario with the mainly granitic bedrock of the Canadian Shield. It stretches across from Georgian Bay to the Frontenac arch just east of Kingston (Figure 1). The Land Between project is a collaboration among partners, including The Couchiching Conservancy; the Kawartha Heritage Conservancy; the Land Trust for Frontenac, Kingston, Lennox and Addington; the Natural Heritage Information Centre; the University of Toronto; Fleming College; Trent University; William Allen; Bird Studies Canada and Ducks Unlimited. Figure 1. The Land Between area of interest. Boundary data provided by Leora Berman. The Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC), of the Ministry of Natural Resources, has a mandate to gather and manage data on species, communites and natural areas of conservation concern and make it available to inform conservation actions. The NHIC role in The Land Between project is to facilitate access to natural heritage data for the project, assist in identifying and filling gaps in natural heritage information, and make 1 Life Science Reconnaissance of Selected Sites in The Land Between, Interim Report recommendations on further natural heritage studies and priorities for conservation and protection. The natural and cultural heritage of this area was first profiled by Peter Alley in presentations to ecological conferences (e.g. Alley 2003). Increasing pressures from cottage development, aggregate extraction, forestry and recreation lend some urgency to understanding the features present and putting in place appropriate conservation strategies. 1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LAND BETWEEN 1.1.1 Regional Context, Geology The study area is a large zone of transition from the biota and ecosystems of southern Ontario to those that are more characteristic of northern Ontario. Each of the ecodistricts overlapping with The Land Between has a characteristic climate, physiography and array of ecosystems, though there are many features they have in common. The Land Between study area overlaps with many ecodistricts along the boundary between Ecoregions 6E and 5E: 6E-6, 6E-8 (northern part only), 6E-9, 6E-10, 5E-8 5E-10, and 5E-11. A concise description of the biodiversity features of each of these ecodistricts is available in the second volume of the Great Lakes Conservation Blueprint for Biodiversity (Henson and Brodribb 2005). The contact line with the Canadian Shield is actually a convoluted zone of geologic change; in southern Ontario the sedimentary limestones, shales and sandstones of the Paleozoic era overlay a foundation of granite; near the contact line the layer of limestone is thin and irregular.

AUTHOR'S PREFACE This history has been appearing serially through the Lindsaj "Watchman-Warder" for the past eleven months and is now issued in book form for the first time. The occasion for its preparation is, of course, the one hundredth anniversary of the opening up of Victoria county. Its chief purposes are four in number: — (1) to place on record the local details of pioneer life that are fast passing into oblivion; (2) to instruct the present generation of school-children in the ori- gins and development of the social system in which they live; (3) to show that the form which our county's development has taken has been largely determined by physiographical, racial, social, and economic forces; and (4) to demonstrate how we may, after a scien- tific study of these forces, plan for the evolution of a higher eco- nomic and social order. The difficulties of the work have been prodigious. A Victoria County Historical Society, formed twenty years ago for a similar purpose, found the field so sterile that it disbanded, leaving no re- cords behind. Under such circumstances, I have had to dig deep.

  • AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT from SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B
    JOHNSTON: ENGRAVED SLATE POINT 23 AN ENGRAVED SLATE POINT FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO Richard B. Johnston ABSTRACT A consideration and interpretation of a slate point bearing apparently notational engraving suggests that it may have been associated with Late Archaic ceremonialism. INTRODUCTION Some years ago a ground slate point was found north of Blairton, Ontario (Belmont Township, Peterborough County) in the shallow waters of the Crowe River a short distance north of Crowe Lake. It was a fortuitous and isolated discovery by a cottage owner, Mrs. H. J. (Joyce) Armstrong, presently of Peterborough, to whom I am indebted for her having brought the artifact to our attention and for subsequently depositing it in the collection of the Trent University Archaeological Centre (number 7PT23-1 from Borden location BcGk-4). What distinguishes this specimen from other slate points of the region and makes it of special interest is the extensive engraving cut into both faces of the point. THE POINT AND ENGRAVING The point is 124 mm in length, including a small allowance for damage at the tip, and has a maximum width of 32 mm near the base of the blade. The maximum thickness is 8 mm in the center of the midsection of the blade which has a lozenge-shaped cross-section with four flat external faces. The point weights 38.8 g and is made of a dark uniform slate; in terms of Munsell soil colours it would be described as very dark gray, approximating 2.5 YR 3/0. The form of the point is within the range exhibited by slate points of southern Ontario, although it is longer and narrower than average, while the base could be said to be atypical in that it is not the relatively long tapering or contracting stemmed form commonly seen on slate points.

(i) Executive Summary The 1991 Ontario Prospectors Assistance Program (OPAP) Funding was directed to a somewhat ignored copper mineralized area associated with volcanogenic iron formations in Lake Township, Grenville Province of Southeastern Ontario within the Eastern Ontario Mining Divison. Three unpatented claims, referred to as the Crowe River property, were staked at latitude 44 degrees 41 minutes North and longitude 77 degrees 45 minutes West, Concession III, Lots 17 and 18, to examine the prospects of economic mineralization in association with past sporadic gold and copper minor production occurrences. A technical report was requested by Mr. Uldis Abolins; it was the author©s decision to expand such a report into a more lucrative summation of the OPAP grant project. Generally, the Crowe River property lies southeast of Bancroft and northeast of Peterborough, a northerly one hour drive approximately 20 air miles north of Havelock within the Grenville Province of the Eastern Ontario Mining District, Ontario.
