Alberta’s first and only paper mill, Alberta Newsprint Company (ANC), is a joint venture of The Stern Group (Whitecourt Newsprint Company Limited Partnership) and West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.
ANC supplies companies worldwide with newsprint.
Woodland caribou are a cultural and ecological icon of Alberta’s forests. However, they are also a threatened species and represent a significant conservation challenge.
The fRI Research Caribou Program carries out applied research, in partnership with industry and the Government of Alberta, to help maintain caribou herds in Alberta into the future.
Its mission comprises three activities: forecasting and monitoring responses to silvicultural treatments, facilitating the scientific development and validation of yield forecasts used by members in managing their tenures; and promoting knowledge, shared responsibility, and cost-effective coopera
The program carries out focused research on infestations of mountain pine beetle in Alberta.
In April of 2012, Tree Improvement Alberta became a consortium of industry and government representatives under fRI Research. The initial project the Tree Species Adaptation Risk Management project funded by Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation.
While detection and control efforts are key to mitigating MPB, it's also important to improve how land managers respond after an attack.
How will a stand respond after MPB infestation, and what can the forestry industry do to help it regenerate?
This project uses direct and indirect methods to determine how caribou respond to linear features at different stages of re-vegetation.
An FGrOW initiative.
A long-term collaboration.
As a result of significant in-flights of mountain pine beetles coming from British Columbia in 2006 and 2009, as well as subsequent local production, there are widely distributed pine dominated stands throughout Alberta that have been significantly affected by MPB-caused mortality.
This project develops population recovery targets based on habitat, and non-invasive techniques for monitoring grizzly bear reproductive performance.
The communications and extension activities carried out by the Healthy Landscapes Program to share its research.
Created by the Healthy Landscapes Program, this is a tool for comparing human and natural disturbance.
A research project and tool that uses spatial simulation modelling to generate the historical range of landscape conditions across western boreal Canada.
This research project from the Healthy Landscapes Program measures the differences between natural and industrial disturbance patterns.
Beginning in 2018, this project will investigate how cutblock design can be less favourable for deer, moose, and elk.
The Caribou Webtools are a suite of free online GIS models. You can model effects of landscape change on caribou ha… https://t.co/27JffTYCAc
