Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP)
In 1999 Credit Valley Conservation implemented an Integrated Monitoring Program (IMP) to help determine progress in achieving its goal of "ensuring an environmentally healthy river for economically and socially healthy communities".
The IMP focuses on a diverse range of monitoring parameters that act as indicators of ecosystem health. Integrating expertise from such disciplines as meteorology, hydrogeology, hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, water quality, and biology allows for many facets of the environment to be simultaneously analyzed.

Terra Cotta Silver Creek
Management Plan
CVC is pleased to present the completed management plan for the Terra Cotta - Silver Creek Complex of conservation areas. The management plan was started in 2004 and proceeded in three phases which included a situation report, public and government stakeholder consultations, a directions report and the final completed management plan, which was endorsed in 2008 by the CVC Board of Directors, the Niagara Escarpment Commission and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
It is our hope that this management plan will effectively ensure the protection, appreciation and enjoyment of this spectacular piece of the Niagara Escarpment and Credit River Watershed.

Greenlands Securement Strategy (2004)
The Greenlands Securement Strategy is a science-driven, criteria-based process that identifies significantly important conservation land. The CVC Greenlands Securement Strategy recommends at a minimum, over the next 20 years, that 5,670 hectares of greenlands within the Credit River Watershed be secured by CVC and its partners, as these lands will contribute to the foundation of a connected system that will provide natural heritage protection, appreciation and recreational benefits for healthy ecosystems and healthy communities.
This document is designed to complement regulatory and voluntary programs of CVC, and provide practical implementation of regional government and area municipal greenlands securement policies.

Presentations
Fisheries Adaptation Climate Change Workshop - January 2009
Credit Valley Conservation held Fisheries Adaptation Climate Change Workshop in January 2009. The morning presentations are provided here with the Workshop break out group components to be summarized and posted in the near future. Recommendations for the Credit River Implementation Committee will then be considered for future implementation including research, monitoring, habitat rehabilitation and other policy directions. For further information please contact Bob Morris, Manager of Natural Heritage.
Climate Change Workshop - December 2008
Credit Valley Conservation held a climate change workshop in December 2008 called
"Adapting our Natural Areas to Climate Change" . The workshop focused on climate change impacts to natural systems based on ongoing watershed research. Three major themes emerged from the workshop: natural heritage management, policy and governance and communication and engagement.

Sustainable
Water Management
Changes, caused by Nature
or humans, affect the health of our watershed
and our communities. CVC has been studying
the watershed for many years and we are currently
involved in a number of studies that will
help us to better assess the health of the
river and the local ecosystems.
A brief 4-page report on
our activities 1998 - 2000, called "Sustainable
Water Management" is available in a downloadable
Acrobat (.pdf) version or in hardcopy from
our office at 1255 Old Derry Road, Mississauga,
Ontario.
