Restoration opportunities in the Caruthers watershed were originally identified using desktop assessment techniques as per the restoration opportunity planning methodology. For the Carruther’s Creek Watershed Plan, a more detailed prioritization method using additional data identified the most important areas to consider for restoration. This involved combining the IRP scores with the criteria listed in management recommendations 2.1.3 for aquatic and 3.1.2 for terrestrial. TRCA then overlaid these scores with the restoration opportunity planning information to identify the highest scoring areas, which are circled in Map 4 (Note: the Audley Road N opportunity was selected for meadow restoration potential in support of management recommendation 3.2.2).
