Topic:  Twilight to 2000: 
 the Greening of Ontario 10,000 years ago glacial ice was just retreating from Ontario leaving behind a raw,
exposed landscape occupied by mega-mammals that included Mastodons, Short-faced Bears and Giant Buffalo. 
 In the midst of this ancient climate change, the ancestral First Nations arrived and the combined influences of climate,
human trade and landscape management by wildlife and people conspired to sculpt the landscape we know today. 
 We track the evolution of our flora in a brief overview of these dynamic changes and provide a glimpse
into the twilight of prehistoric Ontario. 
 The history of Ontario's landscape provides valuable context for land managers and restoration ecologists
when designing our future environments.
