High Conservation Values in the Northshore Forest The Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Standard (2007) contains many criteria and indicators that address important values in the forest and its associated waters and wetlands. The values that are “outstandingly significant” may qualify as “High Conservation Values” (HCVs) if they represent, contain, or provide: • Concentrations of biodiversity values • Landscape-level forests • Rare, threatened, or endangered ecosystem types • The basic services of nature • The basic needs of local communities • Values critical to the traditional cultural identity of a local community, or • An overlap of ecological or cultural values FSC requires managers to ensure High Conservation Values are maintained or enhanced The High Conservation Values currently identified in the Northshore Forest are: Rusty Blackbird Blanding’s Turtle Canada Warbler Peregrine Falcon Snapping Turtle Diverse or unique ecosystems: self-sustaining, remote lake trout lakes Wood Thrush Little Brown Bat Olive-sided Flycatcher Whip-poor-will Common Nighthawk Concentration of biodiversity values— A regionally large great blue heron colony, and deer yards on Crown land Bald Eagle Wood Turtle Habitat for the species at risk known to occur in the forest Habitat for other Species at Risk: • Yellow Rail • Golden-winged Warbler • Least Bittern • Chimney Swift • Short-eared Owl • Long-eared Bat • Eastern wood-pewee • Bank swallow Species at the edge of their range or outliers—Red spruce plantation established from local seed, and red-shouldered hawk nest sites Values important for traditional cultural identity— HCVs identified by First Nations Input on HCVs is welcome !
