Carolyn Campbell reviews the forest management planning for Hidden Creek, a tributary to the Oldman River in southwestern Alberta. With two at-risk native trout species, bull trout and western cutthroat trout, using Hidden Creek as spawning grounds, Carolyn reviews the process that led to road construction and logging in the Hidden Creek headwaters in 2012. Based on this case study, the Alberta Wilderness Association has a series of recommendations on forest management planning and logging activities in foothills creeks with sensitive species and habitats.
Carolyn Campbell is a Conservation Specialist with Alberta Wilderness Association. Her presentation was part of the CWRA/WPAC Joint Conference, March 13-14, 2013 in Red Deer, Alberta.
From March 12-14th, 2013, people involved in water issues in Alberta met in Red Deer to discuss ideas and plans for managing water resources. The conference, jointly hosted by the Canadian Water Resources Association (CWRA) Alberta Chapter and Alberta Watershed Planning & Advisory Councils (WPACs), emphasized the integrated planning that is necessary for water management in the future.
The Alberta Land-use Knowledge Network was able to record many of the keynote speakers and conference presentations,
