恢复

"生态恢复 "是支持和协助退化、受损或被破坏的生态系统的恢复过程。

恢复是保护的一个关键因素,因此,对保护哈尔顿来说,重要的是确定恢复的战略机会,为生态系统功能提供最大的好处。因此,修复项目通常是在哈尔顿保护组织所拥有的财产以及其他私人拥有和公共拥有的财产上进行的,通常是与市政、省和联邦合作伙伴、企业和社区团体合作。

这些恢复项目不仅使我们的社区更加美丽,创造了休闲娱乐的机会,而且为野生动物物种提供了栖息地,改善了我们环境的自然功能,并使我们的流域对气候变化有更强的适应力。

Our Approach

With over 50 years of experience protecting, restoring, and managing the natural resources in the watershed, and serving the residents of our communities, Conservation Halton maximizes the expertise of our staff and the resources of our partners to ensure efficient and effective outcomes from project development to implementation, to support our core mandate of watershed management. Project management staff, who are trained as restoration ecologists, manage the project from beginning to end. This streamlined approach to planning, implementation, and monitoring helps ensure that there is transparency, accountability, reliability and timeliness.

Planning

Our in-house restoration team is qualified to complete a variety of detailed project designs, but for projects that require stamped engineering drawings, designs are completed through a public procurement process. Conservation Halton works with in-house staff and consultants to ensure projects that meet or exceed client expectations as well as planning and permitting requirements. Conservation Halton is focused on innovative and practical solutions, high quality designs and a smooth permitting process, thanks to our experience with regulatory agencies.

Implementation

Conservation Halton takes a hands-on approach to construction management in order to ensure that actions throughout the implementation stage are successful. As an additional benefit, our team often performs tasks such as site preparation, invasive species management, planting, wildlife habitat feature installation, and monitoring, as part of project implementation. Also, we often find solutions for local material use and re-use as a result of our many local partnerships, which reduce project cost.

Compensation Services

Conservation Halton staff are experienced in securing and implementing projects to satisfy a variety of compensation requirements to be completed through your project approval. For instance, our team has extensive knowledge of the Endangered Species Act and project opportunities to fulfill overall benefit requirements, as well as restoration services resulting from Fisheries Act Fish Habitat Compensation, environmental assessment processes, municipal tree by-laws and others.

Service Fees

Fee-for-service conservation agreements outline the responsibilities of Conservation Halton and the client. Conservation Halton charges a full cost-recovery for services. Previous clients have included municipalities, the province of Ontario, utility service providers, members of the development community, and many more.
