Connection have also been made between the NHSRS core and the Greater Golden Horseshoe Natural Heritage System. Please refer to the Natural Heritage System and Restoration Strategy for information. This layer creation involved using the Greater Golden Horseshoe Natural Heritage System provided by MNRF as reference. Landcover and ortho-imagery initially used is now outdated.

Linkages were also identified and labeled between core feature and features from the Greater Golden Horseshoe Natural Heritage System.
