A unique look at the Ontario rock barren habitat

Here is a wonderful look at the unique rock barren habitat that crosses Ontario and passes directly through the Kawartha Lakes region. Ontario's beautiful country has a lot to offer and is even more enjoyable when you live in the north and get to see it every day!

 

Article Summary:

 

• The Land Between extends from the Frontenac Arch in the east (the area of granite rock you pass through on the 401 between Kingston and Belleville) to Georgian Bay and Southern Parry Sound in the west.

• Because many of the species are found at either their northern or southern boundary, the area may help to support mammal diversity both further north (e.g., Algonquin Park) and further south (e.g., Oak Ridges Moraine).

• An area of outstanding rock barrens is located immediately north of Long Lake in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park.
