Description

A team of government agrologists, foresters and biologists, with the cooperation and support of the grazing and timber industries in the area, have developed a regional grazing plan for the Whitecourt-Edson area of west central Alberta. The boundary of the planning area was determined by the planning team and endorsed by the timber and grazing industries through the Regional Grazing Timber Advisory Committee. The plan boundary recognizes the existing demand for new grazing opportunities and the potential for future demand, and it includes all public land contained within the planning area.

Description

The purpose of this PLUS is to develop land management recommendations for public land within the WO1 North FMU. This PLUS will incorporate ecological management principles and ensure that the multiple benefits derived from resource use of the area are maintained. This strategy intends to provide direction to land managers on the use and allocation of public land with full consideration of input from the local public. Management considerations include: agricultural development; sustained timber production; watershed conservation; wildlife habitat protection; recreational uses; mineral resource exploration and development; and ecological conservation, simply or in combination.
