Congratulations to the Regional Municipality of Halton for receiving the Niagara Escarpment Commission's "Niagara Escarpment Achievement Award" for its outstanding forest management plan.Six tracts of forests (423 ha) owned by the Region are included in the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area.
The Halton Regional Forest Management Plan sets high standards in both protecting and managing an extensive woodland corridor. The associated value to the Niagara Escarpment program is significant in that it marries the principles of the Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act and Niagara Escarpment Plan to the reality of managing forests in a sustainable and ecological manner.
