  • R11 Forest Management Plan : Part 3
    R11 Forest Management Plan 3.6 Detailed Indicator Sheets Indicator 1.1.1 Value: Biodiversity – Ecosystem Diversity Objective: Conserve ecosystem diversity by emulating natural disturbance patterns and the range of variation therein (i.e., coarse filter approach). Indicator: Treatment size and residual pattern. Target: Treatment size and pattern within the natural range of variation: multiple treatments over a series of years may be clustered to emulate larger natural burns. Greater than two thirds of these treatment events will be 600 ha or larger. The planning boundaries for individual treatment events will provide a minimum of 15% remnant undisturbed forest, with the average amount of post-treatment remnant area falling between 29% and 49%. Current Status: In developing this indicator and the associated targets, the Planning Team reviewed the work done by the Foothills Model Forest Natural Disturbance Program and the associated Highway 40 North Demonstration Project. The Natural Disturbance Program is a large research project that has been studying fire regimes in the Rocky Mountain and Foothills Natural Regions of west-central Alberta. The Highway 40 project is a multi-partner initiative that is demonstrating how research results from the Natural Disturbance Program can be incorporated into a natural disturbance emulation approach to planning industrial activity. Assessing this indicator using methods similar to those of the Highway 40 project demonstrates use of the best available science, a direct recommendation of the Charrette process (Objective 5.1). Although the Foothills Model Forest study did not occur within the R11 FMU boundary, the study area did border R11 to the north-west and contained a similar compliment of natural subregions (Lower Foothills, Upper Foothills, Montane, Subalpine, and Alpine).

    ild ands dvocate W L A AWA The Alberta Wilderness Association Journal December 2001 • Vol. 9, No. 6 http://AlbertaWilderness.ca [email protected] WATERSHEDS ARE SOURCE OF CONCERN AS PROVINCE LAUNCHES NEW WATER STRATEGY By Andy Marshall Plans for a new, province-wide water strategy are flowing through government departments, a move which, according to officials, confirms Alberta's strong support for water quality. But, conservation groups, such as the Alberta Wilderness Association, committed next year to focusing broader public attention on what they believe to be the declining health of the province's critical mountain and foothills watersheds, have dampened enthusiasm for the government initiative unless it leads to much stricter protective measures. Along with climate change issues, water and watersheds are the top priorities for Alberta Environment Minister Lorne Taylor, says a department spokeswoman, Anne McInerney. Taylor promises an active public consultation process in 2002 for the multi-department strategy initiative. "It's all about co-operation, striking a balance," she says. "We have to address all the challenges." Those challenges are described as ensuring: Safe, secure drinking water for all Albertans. Reliable supplies for economic development. Healthy rivers and lakes. Pharis R.P. Risk-management plans for drought and floods. North Ram River "The first step must be to protect watersheds. Make that the priority," says AWA director Vivian Pharis, helping lead the watershed campaign. Then, it is vital to understand INSIDE better what is happening to watersheds and water quality. What discourages her and other conservation leaders is their view the government Living or Dead? Choosing wildlife places heavier weighting on industrial/commercial interests and encourages these interests economies ..................................4 to extract what they can, particularly from the sensitive Eastern Slopes region.
