Document Summary

We used stratified random sampling protocols for streams to gather water samples and fish. Our bird data came from breeding bird surveys conducted by our staff within random sample points on transects within each woodlot. We do not need to have a reason for enjoying nature"s splendour and the intrinsic value of biodiversity. The community has made a list of birds seen at the bird feeders and along the trails in maple ridge. We stay away from old field woods because it has dangerous giant. Hog weed that caused serious injury to some of our neighbourhood children! . We estimated basal area per hectare using both diameter at breast height and wedge prisms at random points along a grid of transects in each woodlot. The number of random point samples was determined using a sample area curve where the variation in basal area levelled off when we measured enough random points.
