In October 2022, a new bridge at the Horsehills Creek Crossing in Edmonton, Alberta, was constructed  
to support growth into the Marquis and Marquis West subdivisions. This development required immediate  
revegetation and slope stabilization in the surrounding area, which lies within the Marquis Wildlife Corridor.  
These corridors play a crucial role in promoting biodiversity, enabling wildlife to thrive and adapt to the  
challenges posed by human activity and climate change.

A final follow-up visit, conducted 12 months after installation, confirmed the site was fully stabilized.  
After just one full growing season, the native seed mix had taken root successfully, resulting in lush  
vegetation coverage across the entire area. There were no signs of erosion or other issues.  
With the vegetation now thriving, the site is well-prepared to remain stable for years to come
