ISSUE Staff xecently received a draft copy of the Natural Resource Management Plan (NRMP) for Carroll's Woods and Schwarz Pond Park. It provides basic ecological information via text,tables and maps on the geological, ecological and land use history. It describes the current composition and state of vegeta,tive communities and connects those communities to animal habitats,illustrated by lists of observed and potentiallp occurring animal species.The pla.n highlights any raxe species and special habita.ts and natural features needing particulaY caxe,and outlines ongoing ma,nagement needs. It describes the outcomes of recommended restoxations and enhancements. In brief,this NRMP describes an ecological mana,gement process for the ecosystems (excluding open wateY) of the paxk. It includes: (a) a summary of the current condition of natutal resources based on field assessment,historical information and other existing natural resources data.sources; (b) a description of vegetative land cover types and their associa.ted ecological cha,llenges,paired with enhancement and restoxation opportunities; (c) designation of potential management areas useful for planning and phasing; (d) opinions of probable cost (OPCs e�ressed in commercial rates) for the main activities;and (e) summary of the existing and potential ecological value of the park,with a particular focus on the woodland. Staff would li.ke for the Commission to review the Natural Resouxce Management Plan and provide sta,ff with feedback and/or ask questions about the plan.
