Description: The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) is leading a project through the Canada Nature Fund program to adapt and customize the online Habitat and Biodiversity Assessment Tool (HBAT) for use in provinces across Canada. The tool, which was originally developed in Alberta, is a source of biodiversity conservation information and supporting resources for all of those interested in habitat stewardship on the land they own or manage. 

Join the CFGA as they formally launch the Ontario HBAT for land stewards, farmers, and professional extension professionals to use. This 2-hour launch webinar will involve a background on the tool and HBAT project, a demonstration of the tool, how to read the output report(s), and finally the potential for use across Ontario.

There will also be time for questions from the audience, and the webinar will be recorded and made available for viewing by registrants.

The CFGA invites you to join us for the Ontario HBAT Launch on March 21, 2025 from 1 - 3 pm EST. 

You can find the full Ontario HBAT Launch agenda here.
