National Parks of Southern Ontario by N. Glenn Perrett Pdf

Southern Ontario is one of the most developed areas in Canada. It also has North America's busiest highway - Highway 401. In amongst this largely urban area are six gems in Canada's national park's system: Point Pelee National Park, Bruce Peninsula National Park, Fathom Five National Marine Park, Georgian Bay Islands National Park, Rouge National Urban Park, and Thousand Islands National Park. These parks not only protect some of the most spectacular wilderness left in this part of the province, but they offer incredible nature experiences -- everything from hiking, camping and canoeing to boating, bird watching and swimming. In National Parks of Southern Ontario, N. Glenn Perrett looks at these special places and why nature is important. He then takes the reader on some eco-adventures.

Author Gerald Killan’s analysis cuts across the disciplines of history, geography, political science, environmental studies, and the earth and life sciences. The book will be of compelling interest to readers from all thsese backgrounds, as well as the park visitor. Protected Places is being published in 1993 as part of the celebration of the Centennial of Ontario’s provincial parks.

Changing Parks by John S. Marsh,Bruce W. Hodgins Pdf

This important book is a must for everyone concerned with the heritage and future of Canada’s parks. Contributors include an impressive assembly of noted park experts ranging from academic authorities and government parks personnel to concerned nonpolitical park supporters. Since the establishment of Banff National Park in 1885 and Algonquin Provincial Park in 1893, parklands have been part of Canada’s heritage. Where other protected areas, such as forest reserves, heritage rivers and greenways, have also been created, a more comprehensive view of the creation and management of conservation areas and marshland is discussed. Cooperative approaches to park management recognize the regional context of parks with respect to local communities, as well as the inclusion of more diverse groups of people, particularly Aboriginals. This work encourages the general public to take an interest in our priceless park heritage.
