Lambton County Natural Heritage Study
The County of Lambton is working in partnership with the City of Sarnia, the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority, Carolinian Canada Coalition, Sarnia Urban Wildlife and local property owners in the preparation of a Natural Heritage Study. This project has been made possible through the generous financial support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
The County of Lambton and the City of Sarnia recognize the need to develop a solid information and policy basis for the area's woodland and other natural features in order to fulfill their planning obligations under the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The PPS requires municipalities to plan for the protection and rehabilitation of natural heritage features and functions.
The Lambton County Natural Heritage Study has several goals:
1. To increase our understanding of Lambton's natural heritage features and systems.
2. To develop land use planning information and policy that identifies, protects and enhances Lambton's natural heritage features and systems.
3. To encourage and facilitate private stewardship and public education.
4. To protect the relationships between plant and animal communities.
