Summer 2012: Plant / Bird Surveys 

Picture










CCHP has been busy this summer conducting bird and plant surveys in support of our bid for setting aside 25% of Ridgewood Precinct as natural areas protected from development.  Surveys focused on 10 sites scattered throughout the precinct which were representative of wetlands and mixed grass, aspen and oak habitat.  The intent of the surveys was to get a sense of the biodiversity in these natural areas.  We focused on birds and plants because that was where our expertise lay.  Sue Cosens and Bill Grassick conducted the bird surveys on June 10 and 23.  Although many plants were identified in the field on June 28, July 2 and August 8, some were collected for later identification which is still ongoing.  Kyle Fontaine, Gwen Jamieson and Ed Czarnecki conducted our plant surveys with help from Sue Cosens and Sonja Strausz.  We will keep you posted as results come in.
