Development is changing the landscape of the Northern Forest, dividing large woodlots into smaller parcels as suburban areas expand. The increasing densities of roads and buildings and higher levels of forest fragmentation are threatening the health of the streams and rivers in these changing watersheds. Our project was designed to develop a management tool that can help identify watersheds and streams that are threatened by urban development and target those areas where local land use planning can protect these aquatic ecosystems before they become seriously degraded.
