Description

The details of where, when and how trees on Crown land in Alberta are harvested and managed for sustainability are contained in forest management plans approved by the Government of Alberta, with input from the public and other stakeholders. Forest management plans prepared by industry are a requirement of Forest Management Agreements (FMA) negotiated between the Government of Alberta and forest companies. Forest management plans provide direction for sustainable management of forest resources. FMA 9100029 is allocated to Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries Inc. and consists of 11 forest management units (FMU) A16, L1, L2, L3, L8, L11, S11, S14, S18, S22, and S23. The FMA area is located in northeastern Alberta and falls predominantly within the Central Mixedwood, Upper and Lower Boreal Highlands, and Athabasca Plain natural sub-regions.

Description

The Agroecological Resource Areas of Alberta map was developed to provide a natural resource framework for the description and evaluation of the agricultural industry in Alberta. It should also provide a basis for the rationalization, direction and targeting of research, conservation and extension activities at a regional or provincial scale. Broad areas of generally similar agricultural potential and management were separated with an emphasis on natural (ecological) characteristics. The boundaries were based on ecoclimatic zonations, physiographic subdivisions and general soil characteristics.
