Covenant Monitoring Recap 2023

September 29 2023

Each year, HAT spends 11 field days throughout the spring and summer months monitoring our 17 covenant properties to ensure they are in good ecological health and remain protected. This year’s covenant monitoring season was completed by our Land Protection Manager, Nina L., along with our GIS Technician, Aislyn King. We would like to thank our wonderful covenant holders, co-holders, and volunteers for supporting this year’s work!

With the season wrapped up, we wanted to share some of our favourite photos from this year:
