We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The burn probability of the landscape was highly heterogeneous, and recent large burns and some waterbodies provided “shields” that reduced burn probability on their leeward sides.

In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...
