Cedar River (Ontario)

The Cedar River is a small river located in Ontario, Canada. It flows into Lake Simcoe, contributing to its watershed. The river is situated within the Regional Municipality of York and is part of the larger Holland River watershed system.

Historically, the Cedar River has been utilized for various purposes including agriculture, water supply, and recreation. Its surrounding area is characterized by a mix of agricultural lands, wetlands, and residential development.

The river's water quality and ecological health are subject to monitoring and management efforts by local conservation authorities and environmental agencies to mitigate the impacts of urbanization and agricultural runoff. These efforts aim to preserve the biodiversity of the Cedar River and its surrounding ecosystem, as well as ensure sustainable water resources for the region. Specific species found in or near the Cedar River are consistent with a typical southern Ontario river ecosystem and may include various fish species, amphibians, waterfowl, and riparian vegetation. Further specific scientific studies would be needed for a comprehensive biodiversity list.
