About the Project

The Edworthy Park Habitat Management Plan (HMP) project involves hiring an environmental consultant to develop a long-term HMP for Edworthy Park. The development of the management plan will be based on The City’s habitat management framework. It will include a review of water resources, cultural and historical resources, vegetation communities, human use and trail management, invasive plants, wildlife and wildlife habitat, sensitive or significant ecological features, park management zones, and habitat restoration.

The goals of this management plan include integrating various aspects to ensure effective park management. These aspects encompass water resources, cultural and historical resources, vegetation communities, invasive plants, wildlife and wildlife habitat, sensitive or significant ecological features, human use and trail management, and habitat restoration.

Additionally, the plan outlines a 10-year implementation strategy that details management practices aligned with the park’s objectives.

The overarching purpose of Habitat Management Plans are to outline a clear strategy and timeline for managing the ecological health and function of the park to achieve biodiversity and climate resilience outcomes more effectively.

Biodiversity is defined by the International Union of Conservation as the variability among living organisms—animals, plants, their habitats and their genes—from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part. This includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems.
