CVC retained Dougan Ecology, Grounded Solutions, and Green Analytics to develop reasonable and defensible lifecycle and replacement cost estimates for the creation, restoration or rehabilitation and long-term management of selected natural assets. This version is an update to the Life Cycle Costing of Restoration and Environmental Management Actions (2020) with updated methodology and expansion of natural asset types included for costing.
The Natural Asset Carbon Assessment Guide and Toolbox (NACAGT) provides standardized methods for doing carbon assessments in Central and Southern Ontario. Along with background information on carbon assessments, the document includes a database of area-based carbon sequestration rates and a list of tools for performing carbon assessments and guidance for each use. This is version 2.0 of the NACAGT with an updated database and a new method for scoring new carbon sequestration rates.
Our action and accountability plan to halve our corporate greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
The Black Creek Subwatershed Study is only one of many management strategies that guide the use and protection of resources within the subwatershed.
This document puts forth a risk assessment and reduction approach that is intended to guide how CVC staff manages beaver conflicts on CVC properties. These guidelines are intended to reduce the reliance on lethal trapping to resolve conflicts.
