Critical habitat parcel #247_3 is located along the western shore of Point Pelee National Park, Leamington, Ontario, stretching south from the southern end of the West Beach parking lot to the north end and west side of the tip loop road. Critical habitat in this location is identified as the occupied Red Cedar Treed Sand Dune and Hoptree Shrub Sand Dune ELC vegetation types adjacent to the shores of Lake Erie.
Critical habitat parcel #247_4 is located south of East Parkway Drive, west of Army Camp Road, and north of a line extending west from Clemens Road in the northern third of the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Van Valkenburg property in Lambton Shores, Ontario. Critical habitat in this location is identified as the occupied Dry Black Oak – Pine Tallgrass Savanna ELC vegetation type.
Critical habitat parcel #247_11 is located south of The Pinery Provincial Park boundary and north of the Sauble River, in the middle and eastern portion of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority’s Port Franks Properties, Pork Franks, Ontario. Critical habitat in this location is identified as the ELC vegetation type labelled PFP06 in unpublished data of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority. Given that the specific ELC vegetation type associated with the PFP06 polygon has not yet been defined, only the areas within this boundary that meet the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in section 7.1 are considered critical habitat.
Critical habitat parcel #247_20 is located southeast of Waddingham Road and west of the southern north-south section of Maryvale Road within the bounds of the Salmon River Alvar ANSI south of Lonsdale, Ontario. Critical habitat in this location is identified as the occupied Very Dry Treed Barrens on Limestone Bedrock plant community.
Critical habitat parcel #247_13, #247_14, #247_15, #247_16, and #247_17 are all located east of the Trent River and Frankford-Stirling Road and north of Fish and Game Club Road within and adjacent to the southern third of the Stirling Slope Complex ANSI, northeast of Frankford, Ontario. Parcel #247_13 is the northernmost parcel, located near the western boundary of the ANSI. In it, critical habitat is identified as a Kame Ridge Top Dry-Mesic Prairie Remnant. Parcel #247_14 is located east of parcel #247_13, near the eastern boundary of the ANSI. In it, critical habitat is identified as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk a known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree. Parcel #247_15 is located south of parcel #247_13 and parcel #247_17 is located south of parcel #247_15, on the western side of the ANSI. Critical habitat in both parcels is identified as Kame Ridge Top Savannas. Parcel #247_16 is located east of parcel #247_15, both within the ANSI and adjacent and outside of the ANSI’s eastern boundary. In this location, an area within which critical habitat is found is delineated as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk of each known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree plus all habitats, excluding wetlands, that fall within a shape that encompasses the tree root zone of all Dwarf Hackberry trees or clusters of trees for which data points exist. This area is represented by a minimum convex polygon around all known Dwarf Hackberry tree root zones falling within 100 m or less of another known Dwarf Hackberry tree. Critical habitat within these areas is identified based on the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in Section 7.1, along with the full tree root zone of each individual tree falling within this area (this tree root zone may extend beyond the area within which critical habitat is found).
Critical habitat parcel #247_10 is located southwest of the Ausable River, northwest of a line extended northeast from Northville Crescent, northwest of a line from Port Franks Estate Drive to Walden Road, and south of Herbert Street in the northern and middle portions of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority’s Ausable River Cut Conservation Area, Northville, Ontario. Critical habitat in this location is identified as the Dwarf Hackberry area delineated on the property in Mills and Craig (2008).
Critical habitat parcel #247_7, #247_8, and #247_9 are all located in Port Franks, Ontario. Parcel #247_7 is located on the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Watson Property west of the west end of Whatman Street, and just north of the Lower Mud Creek Drain #1. Parcel #247_8 is located just south of this location, south of the Lower Mud Creek Drain #1 in the Lambton County Heritage Forest. The area within which critical habitat is found for parcel #247_7 and #247_8 is delineated as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk of each known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree plus all habitats, excluding wetlands, that fall within a shape that encompasses the tree root zone of all Dwarf Hackberry trees or clusters of trees for which data points exist. This area, for each of these critical habitat parcels, is represented by a minimum convex polygon around all known Dwarf Hackberry tree root zones falling within 100 m or less of another known Dwarf Hackberry tree. Critical habitat within these areas is identified based on the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in Section 7.1, along with the full tree root zone of each individual tree falling within this area (this tree root zone may extend beyond the area within which critical habitat is found). Critical habitat parcel #247_9 is located in the southeastern portion of the Lambton County Heritage Forest, north of Lakeshore Road and immediately west of the Port Franks Road. Critical habitat for this location is identified as vegetation unit 3B from the Mills and Craig (2008) report.
Critical habitat parcel #247_5 and #247_6 are located south of L-Lake and east of Outer Drive in the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Area’s L-Lake Management Area, Port Franks, Ontario. Parcel #247_5 is an area within which critical habitat is found, delineated as a circle with a radius of 13 m around a known data point representing “a few” Common Hoptrees near the entrance of the property. Critical habitat within this area is identified based on the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in Section 7.1, along with the full tree root zone of each individual tree falling within this area (this tree root zone may extend beyond the area within which critical habitat is found). Parcel #247_6 is located at the southeast corner of the Management Area. Critical habitat in this location is identified as the Dwarf Hackberry area delineated on the property in Mills and Craig (2008).
Critical habitat parcel #247_18 and #247_19 are located north of the Bay of Quinte along Manley Drive within the southern portion of the Point Anne Alvar west of Point Anne, Ontario. Parcel #247_18 is an area within which critical habitat is found, delineated as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk of each known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree, plus all habitats, excluding wetlands, that fall within a shape that encompasses the tree root zone of all known Dwarf Hackberry trees or clusters of trees for which data points exist. This area within is represented by a minimum convex polygon around all Dwarf Hackberry tree root zones falling within 100 m or less of another known Dwarf Hackberry tree. Critical habitat within this area is identified based on the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in Section 7.1, along with the full tree root zone of each individual tree falling within this area (this tree root zone may extend beyond the area within which critical habitat is found). Critical habitat within parcel #247_19, located east of parcel #247_18, is identified as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk of a known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree.
Critical habitat parcel #247_1 and #247_2 are located at Fish Point, at the southwestern end of Pelee Island, Ontario. Parcel #247_1 shows the boundary of Fish Point Provincial Nature Reserve as an area within which critical habitat is found. The area within which critical habitat is found at this location is further refined (although not on the map) as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk of each known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree plus all habitats, excluding wetlands, that fall within a shape that encompasses the tree root zone of all Dwarf Hackberry trees or clusters of trees for which data points exist. This area is represented by a minimum convex polygon around all known Dwarf Hackberry tree root zones falling within 100 m or less of another known Dwarf Hackberry tree. Parcel #247_2 is an area within which critical habitat is found along the West-Shore Road municipal right of way and is delineated as a circle with a radius of 13 m around the known data point representing two Common Hoptrees in this location. Critical habitat within both of these parcels is identified based on the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in Section 7.1, along with the full tree root zone of each individual tree falling within this area (this tree root zone may extend beyond the area within which critical habitat is found).
Critical habitat parcel #247_12 shows the boundary of The Pinery Provincial Park, in Lambton Shores, Ontario, as an area within which critical habitat is found. The area within which critical habitat is found at this location is further refined (although not on this map) as a circle with a radius of 9 m surrounding the trunk of each known, live, individual, naturally occurring Dwarf Hackberry tree plus all habitats, excluding wetlands, that fall within a shape that encompasses the tree root zone of all Dwarf Hackberry trees or clusters of trees for which data points exist. This area is represented by a minimum convex polygon around all known Dwarf Hackberry tree root zones falling within 100 m or less of another known Dwarf Hackberry tree. Critical habitat within this parcel is identified based on the biophysical attributes of critical habitat outlined in Section 7.1, along with the full tree root zone of each individual tree falling within this area (this tree root zone may extend beyond the area within which critical habitat is found).
