MNR welcomes research in parks and protected areas. All proposed research activities within provincial parks and conservation reserves must be authorized by MNR. As part of their authorization, external parties are required to submit final reports to MNR.
Should you wish to access any of these research reports, please send an email outlining your request to pa.science@ontario.ca and staff of the Parks and Protected Areas Policy Section can refer you to published reports. For unpublished research reports, those staff will contact the researchers regarding your request.
