A factsheet summarizing CVC study that assessed the value of the ecosystem services provided by natural capital (i.e. natural assets) in the Credit River Watershed.
This factsheet provides an overview of CVC’s Natural Heritage Inventory program (NHI).
Consultant report documenting a review of relevant natural heritage system planning policies within and beyond Ontario. This report supported Phase 4 of CVC’s Natural Heritage System Strategy and provided background information for the development of the example natural heritage system implementation policies.
This report outlines CVC’s method to assign local conservation status ranks (L-ranks) and identify local species of conservation concern at a watershed scale, and demonstrate its application using the fishes of the Credit River Watershed as a test case.

This report assesses the economic value of the Credit River fishery, and specifically, angling activity.
The study uses a survey of residents in the Credit River Watershed to determine exactly how natural areas contribute to their wellbeing. These include the role of natural areas in the provision of ecosystem services which maintain or enhance human well-being, and in the provision of physical, mental, and social wellbeing.

This report (phase 1) details valuing wetland ecosystem services in the Credit River Watershed. This report summarizes the literature about: (i) identifying/ quantifying wetland ecosystem services; (ii) assessing the impact that human activities/actions have on these services; and (iii) estimating the economic value provided by these services.
This report (phase 2) estimates the value of retaining and restoring wetland services in the Credit River Watershed using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM).
