Moose, for 'instance, are creatures of the Boreal Forest regions, while deer inhabit the Deciduous Forest areas. If you look at a forestry map, it is very easy to deter- mine the range of these and other animals by examining the forest types in the area. Boreal, Deciduous and Great Lakes -St. Lawrence Forest Regions are the three types we have in Ontario. The Boreal Forest is the most northern forest in the world, is circumpolar and is dominated by coniferous species. Low lying wet areas are typically covered with black spruce, tamarack and white cedar, while drier sites are usually covered with jack pine, white spruce, balsam fir, poplar or asPens. Large stands of a single tree species are found, but a mixture is more the rule. The Great Lakes -St. Lawrence 'area is an ecotone, or a region where the boreal forests of the north and the deciduous forests of the south meet and overlap. This area sees even more of a mixture and the maples, birches and beech trees start to gain dominance. Because " the wider ' variety of tree species available provide dif- ferent cover types, a more diverse cross .section of wildlife is usually available. As you move farther south, the presence of conifers decreases and the maples and beech trees become dominant interspersed with other species such as butternut, walnut, hickory, etc. In Ontario, this forest type only. occurs in a few places in the southern -most tip of the Province. Rondeau Park, Point Pelee and the Fingal Wildlife Management Areas are good places to observe this type of forest. While forest . types dictate to a large extent which forms of wildlife are present, there are other factors which must be taken into con- sideration. In order for wildlife to survive, their habitat must provide them with food, shelter and water. Large mature stands of .forests provide a cover, but may produce little actual food while open areas .'may produce food but have no shelter. A mixture of. these areas coupled with a supply of water produce excellent habitat for birds and animals and this is where you will find most of your wildlife. - We have 'been conditioned to regard - for -est. fires as terribly destructive things, but they are almost- essential for wildlife survival. Fires create areas of forest disturbance and open up.-.. _ mature stands for regeneration. Certain species of plants and trees hav't adapted to forest fires and others depend on them for reproduction. The jack pine, for example, needs temperatures of at least 140 degrees<F to cause the cbnes to open and release the seeds. Records over the past 60 years also indicate that fire conditions are cyclic with a peak season every 13th year. There are, however: exceptions, and I'm sure'this past summer was one of them. Other "forest 'disturbances" also stimulate regeneration providing food and cover. •Infestations of spruce bud worm and floods are two examples. Logging, if carried out properly, can also , increase wildlife habitat, or it can almost destroy it completely. The next time you're out travelling, pay a little attention to the trees you are driving past. You'll soon be able to recognize what forest type it is, and be able to impress your friends by ex- plaining it to them It's a great way tb kill some time on a long trip and you als1 find yourself looking at the country with a different point of view. pQ lead„ in the, first period, and weredown only 34 at the start of the third before the roof' caved in..
