This document is part of the 360 tours project Toolkit developed by Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) led by Cenovus Energy Inc., in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada. The ultimate goal of the 360 tours project is to improve accessibility to forest restoration knowledge for individuals that are unable to be in the field. 

This document outlines the impact of linear features on the ease of accessibility for wolves when hunting woodland caribou and describes techniques that can be utilized to deter the wolves. It finds that treatment intensity is an important factor to properly restoring the land, as well as ensuring the revegetation of trees of an adequate height to properly deter wolves and OHV use by the public. It can be found on their 360 tours site, which includes a silviculture toolkit containing videos, factsheets, guidebooks, and practical tips. In addition, the site includes virtual tours of previously restored sites.
