How to Use the Range Plant Community Guides and Recovery Strategies Manuals for Project and Reclamation Planning in Grasslands

Wednesday, March 6^th, 2024, 10:00 – 17:00 at the Edmonton Convention Centre.

A Grassland Restoration Forum Pre-conference Workshop
hosted by the Canadian Land Reclamation Association Alberta Chapter

Do you work in grassland reclamation? An understanding of the concepts of range ecology is an important skill for designing effective conservation and restoration of native grasslands. This one day, classroom-based course presents the theory behind the Range Plant Community Guide manuals and guided practice using them. It will provide context for: applying the results of data collected during pre-disturbance site assessment, development of a recovery strategy for impacts to native grasslands for development, and reclamation planning.

Learning Objectives

Gain a basic understanding of the two ecosystem classification systems for the Grassland and Parkland Range Plant Community Guides.
Learn how to navigate through the guides to link site conditions, soils and determine plant communities. Participants will practice on data sets for each of the two rangeland classification systems.
Overview of disturbance risk assessments and strategic siting for grassland plant communities.
Work through development of appropriate mitigation and restoration strategies linked to types of disturbance for each plant community discussed.

Target Audience

Designed for planners, reclamation practitioners, agrologists, ecologists, land stewards, regulators, students, and anyone interested in learning more about native grassland classification, strategic siting of potential disturbances, and recovery strategies planning.

Registration Fees

Fee: $350.00 per person (maximum 60 registrants)
