Executive Summary
This project is directly related to key public policy issues of biodiversity and habitat reclamation/restoration. Specifically, this project seeks to address key knowledge gaps in the effectiveness of the linear restoration on fens in achieving restoration goals of caribou habitat restoration and reduced predation risk. This research will benefit both industry and government, as they seek innovative and cost-effective solutions for restoring caribou habitat.
This project’s results will help address knowledge gaps and aid in caribou recovery in Alberta and elsewhere in the boreal forest. If techniques for fen restoration are improved or opportunities for efficiencies are incorporated, the ability to scale up linear restoration projects is enhanced.
