About HBAT 
This online tool enables interested agricultural producers to integrate the needs of multiple native species in the management of their land. The PEI tool contains data to specifically target provincial species and best management practices relevant to the province and regions. Its goal is to help producers identify habitats present on their farms worth a closer look for conservation to support enhanced biodiversity on their operations. It will also provide guidance on best management practices relevant to the habitats they may be stewarding. 
  
This is an open meeting so feel free to share this invite with others in your network who may be interested in this work and tool. The session will be recorded and recorded access provided to all who register or express interest but cannot attend. Please contact me at [email protected] for further event or communications details. 
  
We look forward to having you join us, and invite any additional HBAT inquiries to be directed to Francois Blouin at [email protected] or Cedric MacLeod at [email protected].
