Hamilton-Burlington 7E-3 Conservation Action Plan

(completed February 2010)

The Hamilton – Burlington 7E-3 Conservation Action Plan (HBCAP) area covers approximately 21,000 ha (210 km2) of lands at the western tip of Lake Ontario. It includes the waters and wetlands of Hamilton Harbour, Cootes Paradise, as well as the portions of the cities of Hamilton and Burlington found within Ecodistrict 7E-3. The area supports plants and animals characteristic of the Carolinian Life Zone, many of which are provincially, nationally and globally rare.
