Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
Reclamation of altered landscapes in northern Alberta is becoming increasingly important as the regulatory requirement become more stringent. Oil and gas and forestry companies are liable for...
Site re-vegetation is an important phase in peatland restoration. Prior to re-vegetating a peatland site, appropriate methods should be used to adjust the soil and address the hydrologic disturbance...
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
The Plant and Seed Technologies program is uniquely positioned to facilitate the delivery of native shrub, forb and graminoids species for reclamation by: assisting industry and practitioners in more...
Join host Aspen Dudzic in the latest episode of the Forestry Talks podcast, presented by the Alberta Forest Products Association, as she welcomes Dr. Amanda Schoonmaker, Research Chair for Colleges at...
Minimizing the footprint of industrial operation on forest lands is an important goal for maintaining the integrity and sustainability of forest species and communities. Industrial operations and...

In general, regulators expect that disturbed sites in the boreal forest will undergo complete reclamation (recontouring, soil replacement and revegetation) with the goal of returning the site to pre...
The site-specific data gathered throughout the life cycle of an upstream facility provides the basis for the integrated environmental management principles commonly applied for the reclamation of...
This research poster outlines site studies of the peat inversion technique for reclaiming wood chipped winter access roads, including project planning and site condition assessment, future...
Restoring peatlands in the in situ oil sands region of northern Alberta presents a set of challenges that have yet to be properly addressed. The lack of proven, cost-effective methods for restoring...
The prompt introduction and establishment of peatland donor species through moss layer transfer technique was crucial to the overall re-establishment of peatland vegetation.
Forest dynamics in the Boreal are largely influenced by natural disturbances, in particular wildfire. Consequently, the use of post-disturbance patterns for forest management has been proposed as...
Various methods have been developed and used to revegetate sites disturbed by oil and gas activities in Western Canada. Considerable information describing these methods and their effectiveness exists...
