This Natural Heritage Tour is designed to give you an introduction to and description of those systems and features so that you can explore, learn about, enjoy and care for the environment in which we all live. Cambridge is a unique place as it contains drumlins, moraines, kames, kettle lakes, erratic boulders, several distinct vegetation communities, and other features. The varying geology, soils and climate combine to create distinct vegetation types and wildlife habitats called ecoregions. Cambridge lies at the southern extremity of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region, the Huron Ontario lobe. Because we are close to the next ecoregion to the south – Decidous Forest Region – there are occurrences of a number of species that are common in more southern climates (often referred to as “Carolinian” species). There are also a number of unusual habitat types in Cambridge such as alvar communities and rare prairie remnants. The Cambridge Natural Heritage Tour will take you to many of the special natural places in the city. You will see evidence of the last glaciation as well as the plants and animals that moved in when the ice sheet retreated for the last time. The members of the Cambridge Environmental Advisory Committee invite you to visit and appreciate the City’s natural heritage. The Cambridge Natural Heritage Tour booklet offers detailed information on the 29 sites featured on this map. The Cambridge Natural Heritage Tour has been made possible through the efforts of the Cambridge Environmental Advisory Committee and the City of Cambridge. Funding was also received from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and an anonymous donor. Technology Services GIS Division
