The Forest Restoration Virtual Tours and Silviculture Toolkit provides resources to support successful forest restoration practices on oil sands sites.

This site was first developed by Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) led by Cenovus Energy Inc., in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada. The continuing goal is to provide a go-to location for information about forest restoration and progressive reclamation techniques in the oil sands region of Alberta. The site's collaborators seek to bring field experiences right to the office to increase learning and awareness of new tools and techniques. This will help build capacity among operators and managers, and lead to better outcomes in the field.

Available resources:

  • A set of virtual tours to help operators see how applying the right restoration technique can make a big difference.
  • A comprehensive Silviculture Toolkit with numerous videos, factsheets and guidebooks to help companies apply proven restoration techniques.
