Alberta is challenged to sustainably manage forest landscapes for multiple benefits, including economic opportunities related to utilization of natural resources, as well as the social, cultural and ecological values associated with forest ecosystems. Development of energy and forest resources in northeastern Alberta has led to changes in the forest and associated cumulative effects of development in recent years. The Alberta government has been developing new regulatory requirements and changes to resource policy since 2009 (Alberta Land Stewardship Act) to enable more effective planning, implementation and monitoring of resource development activities and provide a framework to address cumulative effects management. The Lower Athabasca Regional Plan (LARP) and associated Biodiversity Management Framework call for integrated land management (ILM) approaches to achieve regional objectives relating to biodiversity conservation and healthy functioning forests. Federal and Provincial policy relating to the conservation of caribou habitat and an emerging Alberta Wetland Policy have focused interest on the integration of development planning activities with terrestrial and aquatic systems. These recent shifts in policy and regulatory requirements, in particular the use of ILM to reduce industrial footprint, present unique opportunities and /or incentives to look more closely at the benefits of collaborative ILM, as well as ways to bridge some of the potential challenges to planning across industrial sectors. Al-Pac has been developing ways to integrate ILM more fully into forest operations. In particular, opportunities to develop ILM practices that move beyond road sharing to a more fully integrated planning process that considers both disturbance and restoration activities across time and space. Several ILM projects Al-Pac is currently involved in were outlined and future opportunities for collaborative undertakings outlined. The projects included; the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement – caribou action planning, the CEMA Stony 800 Restoration project, the Biodiversity using ranges of natural disturbance project (BURND), the Regional Industry Caribou Collaboration (RICC) and the Dillon Wildlands Caribou Habitat Restoration Project.
