  • Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee
    Winter 2016-2017 THE QUARTERLY OF THE TORONTO BRUCE TRAIL CLUB Vol. LIII No. 4 www.torontobrucetrailclub.org | 416-763-9061 | [email protected] Grand Opening of the Todd Bardes Meadowlands Side Trail by Nancy Tilt, TBTC Conservation Committee Friends and family, hikers, and Toronto Bruce Trail Club Conservation Committee members, about 75 in all, gathered at Limehouse Com- munity Hall on a beautiful early September Sunday. The occasion was the Grand Opening of a new Side Trail in memory of Todd Bardes, a dedicated and treasured Bruce Trail volunteer. Car and bus thru-hikes had been organized for the day to coincide with the early afternoon opening of the Trail. Peter Leeney, friend of Todd and currently Land Stewardship Director and past President of the Toronto Club, spoke of Todd's long history with the Bruce Trail. Todd joined the Bruce Trail Association in 1994 and had been actively involved with trail activities since 1996 both at the club level, the broader Board level, and most recently as President. In 2001 the Bruce Trail purchased the 39-acre Springle property just north of Limehouse. Todd and his wife, Christina, subsequently took on the role of Land Stewards. Existing ATV disturbance in the mead- owland portion of the property was an issue needing attention. Fellow Bruce Trail volunteer, Andrew Costley, came up with the idea of a community-based and monitored Side Trail through the meadow. Todd, along with support from other volunteers, wholeheartedly agreed, and through their efforts the Side Trail came to life. Andrew Costley, on behalf of all volunteers who knew Todd, spoke Hike Leader Training 2017 of him as a friend and mentor, providing both advice and leadership with wise and patient counsel.

  • CHAPTER 7 One of the Fundamental Components of the Natural Heritage System Is Water
    WATER CHAPTER 7 One of the fundamental components of the natural heritage system is water. All life depends upon it. Water is constantly moving or cycling through the environment. This movement of water as atmospheric moisture, groundwater, and surface water is known as the hydrologic cycle (see Figure 7). The quality and quantity of these resources are important factors in the determination of watershed health. 7.1 GROUNDWATER Groundwater is an essential component of the hydrologic cycle, and hence of the natural heritage system. As groundwater moves through one or more geologic layers, it can eventually discharge, or seep out, into valleys, streams, lakes or wetlands. In this way, groundwater provides the baseflow of many streams and can regulate factors such as water quantity, quality, and temperature. FIGURE 7: The Hydrologic Cycle 7.1.1 Groundwater Quantity It is important to note that similar to surface water, groundwater typically flows downhill following the slope of the water table. Groundwater also flows toward and eventually drains into watercourses and lakes. The Highland Creek watershed is underlain by layers of soil deposited over many thousands of years. Some of these layers are permeable and allow water to 67 STATE OF THE WATERSHED REPORT: HIGHLAND CREEK WATERSHED flow through them. These are known as aquifers. Others are less permeable and slow down the movement of water. These are known as aquitards. The Highland Creek watershed is underlain by three major aquifers, known as the Upper, Middle, and Lower Aquifers (Eyles et al., 1998). The Upper Aquifer is intermittent across the watershed. It is confined to a thin layer of soil on the South Slope less than five metres in thickness, and to the Lake Iroquois sand plain situated south of the Lake Iroquois shoreline (Eyles et al., 1998).
