White Lake BioBlitz 2016 Report During the weekend of May 27-28th, 2016, over 30 biologists and local citizens gathered for 24 hours in White Lake, Ontario to participate in the 2016 White Lake BioBlitz.

A BioBlitz is an intense period of biological surveying in an attempt to record all the living species within a designated area. Groups of scientists, naturalists and volunteers conduct an intensive field study over a continuous time period, usually 24 hours.

The event was funded by the generous contribution from the G2 Gallery, in partnership with the White Lake Preservation Project, Watersheds Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

The goal of this project is to provide the White Lake community with information on biodiversity while conducting expert-led species inventories. The resulting species inventory can be used for protecting biodiversity by providing information for responsible land use management decisions, protection of rare or at risk species, and inclusion in Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Natural Heritage Information Centre (NHIC). These events also provide an excellent opportunity for members of the public to participate in conservation projects, learn about biodiversity and species identification.

Part educational event and part scientific endeavor, the White Lake BioBlitz, is a first for the White Lake Preservation Project. It offered a community-based approach to identifying

species and ecosystem diversity for an area of Crown Land located on the western shores of White Lake. Most of the research conducted in the White Lake area focuses on the eastern portion of the lake. This information will contribute to provincial databases and increase the local and regional knowledge base of the area. The figure below is a map of White Lake & the BioBlitz Study Area

The BioBlitz was located on a 207 acres of Crown Land, at the end of Wabalac Road in the township of Lanark Highlands. This area supported a variety of different ecosystems included forested and wetland areas but overall little is known about this parcel. Therefore, throughout the two days, experts worked towards developing a biological inventory of the property, as well as leading guided walks to the public.

The figure below shows a satellite image of the study area.

This was a large area to cover and therefore experts spent numerous hours making their observations. Overall most of the observations were made in the western portion of the property. Over the 24 hour period, we were able to identify five hundred and eighteen different species with over seven hundred and twenty three observations logged into the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s iNaturalists website. (see appendix A for the full list of species or visit the online database White Lake BioBlitz iNaturalist Species List). SAR’s observed during the BioBlitz included the Snapping turtle, which is designated as Special Concern, the Eastern Whip-Poor-Will which is Threatened and the Eastern Wood-pewee, a species of Special Concern. These sitings will be reported to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.

There was a special night session on May 27th, “Sounds and Creatures of the Night”. Experts Suzanne Deschene, Diane Lepage and Jim Des Rivieres, set up white sheets and black lights at numerous locations. Once the sun went down, a large variety of moths and insects came out to play. The experts photographed the moths for future identification. An amazing experience for the community. .

White Lake BioBlitz Final Report 2016

The 2016 White Lake BioBlitz was a huge success. We identified 518 different species, we brought together a community and we showed them the diverse wonder in their own backyards. We would like to thank all of our experts for taking the time to share their knowledge and expertise to this great project on White Lake. Jeff Ward (Watersheds Canada Board Member & Tree Expert), Adam Pugh (Adam’s Outfitting) Eleanor Thomson (E.R. Thomson Botanical Surveys) Diane Lepage (Moth Expert, Ottawa Field Naturalists Club) Suzanne Deschenes (Moth Expert, Ottawa Field Naturalists Club) Jim Des Rivieres (The Moth Man) Chris Heffernan (Biologist, McIntosh Perry) James Page (Species at Risk & Biodiversity Specialist, Canadian Wildlife Federation) A very special thank you to the White Lake Preservation Project for hosting this wonderful event. Susan Gottlieb, Janet Taylor & Doug Smith, thank you for providing accommodations for staff and experts. Your hospitality was greatly appreciated. Thank you to the Canadian Wildlife Federation for sponsoring our children’s program and helping to educate the next generation of nature lovers. This event could not have been possible without the generous financial support of the G2 Gallery. Thank you for bringing species awareness to the White Lake Community.
