ATLAS
The Eastern Ontario Model
Forest (EOMF) has
initiated an atlas project for
the reptiles and amphibians
of eastern Ontario.
Throughout 2009 and 2010, we are
asking landowners, citizens, and visitors to submit
simple records of sightings (or calls) within the
model forest. Atlas reporting forms are available
through the EOMF website. The EOMF includes all
of the following five counties: Leeds & Grenville;
Lanark; Prescott & Russell; Ottawa; and Stormont,
Dundas & Glengarry.
