In addition to reflecting Guelph’s community values, the City’s Natural Heritage Action Plan supports our Strategic Plan and Official Plan by prioritizing goals, policies, guidelines and actions designed to maintain, enhance and restore woodlands, wetlands, watercourses, valley lands and meadows, surface water and groundwater features in Guelph.
The Natural Heritage Action Plan, approved in September 2018, identifies over thirty actions that support the City’s environment first approach, and the continued protection and management of the natural heritage and water resource systems. Many of the Actions were finite activities which have been completed and are visible to the public, such as those listed below. Other actions are ongoing, and although not as prominent as some of the items below, staff continue to work on implementing the Natural Heritage Action Plan.
Examples of Completed Actions:
- Guelph is a designated Bee City in partnership with Pollination Guelph
- Stormwater management monitoring program
- Guelph is a designated Bird Friendly City in partnership with Bird Safe Guelph
- Wildlife Crossing Guideline (Action 11)
