The Buck for Wildlife Program of the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division has recently expanded its efforts to develop a volunteer based fisheries habitat enhancement program. Twenty-nine projects, with an estimated value of $161,400 were carried out by volunteer groups in southern Alberta in 1986. A wide range of proven enhancement techniques were successfully applied and the initial evaluation of selected projects demonstrates positive habitat gains. However, the ability of volunteer groups to sustain this program over the long term has not been demonstrated to date.
