    This document describes a site location model to identify suitable locations for reintroducing the Osmunda Finlayi fern around the Niagara College Glendale Campus. It will use a GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation with a raster calculator and fuzzy overlay analysis considering aspect, hillshade, slope, and soil type. The analysis identified three most suitable locations - two on the lower left escarpment and one on the upper right escarpment.

    Site Location Model For Osmunda Finlayi

    3 Creating Formatting Data Variables 1. Creating Tin Surface 2. Creating Raster Surface 5. Fuzzy Overlay

    4. Raster Calculation

    The main objective of this model is to produce a map of a raster layer displaying the most suitable location(s) around the Niagara College Glendale Campus for the reintroduction of the Osmunda Finlayi fern. A GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation will be conducted using the raster calculator approach coupled with a fuzzy overlay analysis. The criterion considered in this study are; aspect, hillshade, slope and soil type. Based on an overlay of the raster calculator and fuzzy overlay results there are a total of three locations most suitable for relocation; two on the lower left section of the escarpment and one location at the top right section of the escarpment
