Description

The Ecosystem Services approach pilot on wetlands is part of the Alberta Environment and Water’s 10-year ecosystem services road map. Its completion and results are considered a progression in understanding and applying an ecosystem services approach to support decision making. Ecosystems provide innumerable services that are underrepresented or absent in most economic development decisions; however, these services contribute to development objectives (e.g., scenic quality of the land) and to realizing quality of life goals. Identifying and understanding many of the services from wetlands can provide more information to decision makers, which may help to prevent unintended consequences from development decisions.

Description

The Cutblock Assessment Tool was developed to help guide the successful integration of grazing and timber management practices on overlapping dispositions. It is a status assessment tool not a diagnostic tool. The monitoring process is part of phased risk management approach for determining the status of forage and forest regeneration within cutblocks. The cutblock assessment tool contains information to increase awareness, provide education, and identify integration problems common to the beef and forest industries, and SRD staff. The integration focus makes it distinct from regeneration standards and range health assessment procedures.
