PAST PROJECTS

ABORIGINAL FUND FOR SPECIES AT RISK

Affinity teamed up with the Bagida'waad Alliance to deliver a field ecology training program while surveying the Neyaashiinigmiing reserve (Cape Croker) for species at risk. The project culminated in a Stewardship Plan and implementing wetland and woodland restoration projects on the reserve.

ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION FRAMEWORK

The Restoration Framework is an OALA award winning document that guides ecosystem restoration for the Boyne and Derry Green survey areas in the Town of Milton. Nick Assad, Principal of Affinity Habitat Studio provided support for technical components of the Restoration Framework while under the employment of Dougan & Associates.

MINI FORESTS

A mini forest is a dense planting of native trees and shrubs. The density of the planting mimics natural forest regeneration. Excluding light from the ground layer minimizes water loss and weed growth, while at the same time prompts trees to grow tall as they reach for light. The result is a mature looking forest in a relatively short time span.
