Foothills Fescue native grasslands in SW Alberta are declining and becoming increasingly fragmented with new industrial development and recreation pressures in the region. Competent pre-disturbance site assessment and follow-through are critical to assessing restoration risk, minimizing disturbance, and preparing effective and cost-efficient construction and reclamation plans for all development in native grasslands. This two-day field-based tour addresses:
- Reclamation issues and beneficial practices in the region
- Conservation assessment in native grassland
- Project planning, ecological site restoration risk assessment and recovery strategies for fescue grasslands
- A tour of industrial sites to illustrate different construction and reclamation practices in the region
