Sandy Smith, Dean of Forestry, University of Toronto Sandy’s enthusiasm for her subject matter was parasitoids means they can be used when needed, infectious. Her primary message was that careful making them more effective. research and time are necessary and that native controls may be preferable to foreign ones. For today’s Classical biological control involves going back to the lecture, Sandy defined invasive as “exotic, alien and country of origin and trying to find a species that is the non-native.” Even though some native species can be natural enemy of the alien here. Sandy prefers to focus invasive, that was not the topic for today. on native biological controls. She points out the need to be careful and understand the nature of the threat Invasive species hitchhike into our local scene via before we apply solutions. airplane travel and/or the transportation of goods by ship or other means.

  • AECOM Report 1.Dot
    Environmental Assessment chapter 3. description of the potentially affected environment 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment This chapter is divided into four different sections which describe different components of the baseline or existing environmental conditions. The first section describes the river characteristics which will influence the development of alternatives. This information has been separated from the remaining description of the natural environment such that some emphasis can be given to those aspects of the existing environment that are driving the development of alternatives for the DMNP. The second section describes the remaining components of the natural environment: fish and fish habitat, terrestrial vegetation, and wildlife. The third section addresses components related to soils and groundwater contamination. The final section describes socio-economic components: land use, air quality and noise, archaeology, aboriginal interests, and built heritage. 3.1 River Characteristics in the Project and Impact Assessment Study Areas The Don Watershed possesses a dendretic drainage pattern that flows southward for 38 kilometres (as the crow flies) from the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM) to the Inner Harbour of Toronto. The Don possesses two major branches (the East and West Don), each consisting of many smaller sub-watershed systems, such as but not limited to Taylor Massey Creek, Wilket Creek, Patterson Creek and Pomona Creek. The confluence of the East and West Branches occurs approximately 6 kilometres upstream of the Impact Assessment Study Area. Downstream from the confluence, the sub-watershed is known as the Lower Don and includes all of the Don Narrows until reaching the Keating Channel. The entire watershed area or drainage basin of the Don River is approximately 360 square kilometres (Figure 3−1).

  • Breathing New Life Into
    Breathing New Life into 2003 Don Watershed Report Card A Message to Those Who Cherish the Don If you brought this report card home to your parents, you would be sent to bed without dinner. Far too many Cs and Ds, not a single A, and — heaven forbid — an F, glaring from the page. But restoration is hardly a series of simple questions and answers that can easily be slotted into good or bad, right or wrong. It's much more than that. It takes a longer view. The grades are nowhere near good enough, true, but some very important groundwork has been laid in the past 10 years to ensure major strides from here on. First off, let's address that F. We know we can do better in caring for water, and now, we have a means to improve that grade through the recently completed Wet Weather Flow Management Master Plan for the City of Toronto. Once it's put in place, water quality will improve substantially, not only in the Don River, but everything it feeds. The plan will take at least 25 years to implement; we still must include the munici- palities outside of Toronto into a broader watershed plan. Bold commitments by federal, provincial, and municipal governments must be made to ensure we have the resources required to really make this happen. There are quantifiable victories as well. Thanks to changes to five weirs, salmon and other fish now migrate more freely up the Don for the first time in a century. We have seen the completion of the first phase of the Don Valley Brick Works, and a number of other regeneration projects: Little German Mills Creek, The Bartley Smith Greenway, Milne Hollow, and the establishment of the Charles Sauriol Nature Reserve.

  • Artist's Proposal
    Gabbert Artist’s Proposal 14th Street Roundabout Page 434 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for this opportunity. For your consideration I propose a work tentatively titled “Flame”. I believe it to be simple-yet- compelling, symbolic, and appropriate to this setting. Dimensions will be 20 feet high by 14.5 feet wide by 14.5 feet deep. It sits on a 3.5 feet high by 9 feet in diameter base. (not accurately dimensioned in the 3D graphics) The composition. The design has substance, and yet, there is practically no impediment to drivers’ visibility. After review of the design by a structural engineer the flame flicks may need to be pierced with openings to meet the 150 mph wind velocity requirement. I see no problem in adjusting the design to accommodate any change like this. Fire can represent our passions, zeal, creativity, and motivation. The “flame” can suggest the light held by the Statue of Liberty, the fire from Prometheus, the spirit of the city, and the hearth-fire of 612.207.8895 | jgsculpture.webs.com | [email protected] 14th Street Roundabout Page 435 of 1673 Gabbert Sarasota Roundabout 41&14th James Gabbert Sculptor home. It would be lit at night with a soft glow from within. A flame creates a sense of place because everyone is drawn to a fire. A flame sheds light and warmth. Reference my “Hopes and Dreams” in my work example to get a sense of what this would look like. The four circles suggest unity and wholeness, or, the circle of life, or, the earth/universe.
