11 Nature and Culture When we think of the Mount Nemo Plateau, we often think of: Escarpment outlier dramatic landform Forest transition zone Headwaters Habitat for rare and/or endangered species But also a culturally modified landscape since the time of indigenous use/habitation and more obviously since Euro settlement.

12 Niagara Escarpment Plan The particular combination of geological and ecological features along the Niagara Escarpment results in a landscape unequalled in Canada. It is also a source of some of southern Ontario's prime rivers and streams and one of the province's principal outdoor recreation areas The Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act established a planning process to ensure that the area would be protected. From this emerged the Niagara Escarpment Plan which serves as a framework of objectives and policies to strike a balance between development, preservation and the enjoyment of this important resource.

13 A World Biosphere Reserve (1990) The UNESCO concept is actually man and the biosphere (MAB) promoting the preservation of unique and inspiring landscapes but where humankind also has a place in a long term sustainable relationship built on stewardship, local community efforts and sound science.

14 NEC Plan Objective #1: To protect unique ecologic and historic areas. PPS (2005): significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscape (chl) resources shall be conserved. A chl is a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human activities and is valued by the community.

15 Burlington Official Plan Objectives To identify areas of heritage landscape in the City containing heritage buildings, structures, streets, vegetation, and open spaces of architectural or historic significance, whose arrangement represents one or more distinctive cultural processes in the historical use of land.
