Talk:Ecology of the Oak Ridges Moraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following Natural Areas Reports from the Ministry of Natural Resources have issues that need to be cleared before inclusion on the list in the article.

York Region:

• ZEPHYR-EGYPT WETLAND COMPLEX - this may not be on the ORM
• WILLOW BEACH WETLAND COMPLEX - where is this zone? I can't find a good reference
  • the above two don't seem to be on the ORM: see Lake Simcoe Watershed Conservation Areas for details. Mindmatrix 20:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• PHILIPS LAKE WETLAND COMPLEX - this may have been incorporated into Philips—Bond —Thompson Lakes Wetland Complex recently by the Ministry
• BLOOMINGTON WETLAND - name suggests its in Aurora...
• BLACK RIVER WETLAND COMPLEX #1 - may be in Georgina, which would be outside the ORM; the report states its on the ORM though; perhaps its further south than I thought.
  • this is in Whitchurch-Stouffville; added to the list Mindmatrix 20:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll add other regions as I get to them. Mindmatrix 18:29, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dufferin Region:

• OAK RIDGES SOUTH SLOPE FORESTS - the name is highly suggestive

That's the only one for this county. Mindmatrix 19:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've added CLARKE SUMMIT SWAMP to the list under City of Pickering. somebody should verify that it is indeed located there. The MNR page states that Site District 6-13 is located there, and stretches east, but no actual location info for this ANSI-LS is given - can someone translate the lat/long to a particular geopolitical location.
