Description

This report documents the assessment of the performance of the GIS-based method used to evaluate the intactness of riparian habitats along the shorelines of Pigeon, Gull, Sylvan, and Buffalo lakes and their associated tributaries. Both desktop and field validation methods were used and the ability of the GIS assessment approach to capture relative differences in intactness locally and regionally was tested. Overall the method proved to be reliable for assessing and comparing the intactness of riparian management areas across large geographical areas.

Description

Provincial Parks and other areas where natural vegetation is protected are of great value as the flora and fauna present in them is typical of what was in Alberta before widespread agricultural activities replaced them with flora and fauna that was reduced in numbers and made up of species that were associated with cultivated grains and hay crops. As a result, many of Alberta’s “rare and endangered” species are now found only, or mainly, in such protected areas.

Description

The Buffalo Lake Integrated Shoreland Management Plan was developed to manage human activities, maintain biodiversity, and promote environmental quality on Buffalo Lake's shorelands in anticipation of increasing visitor use and development pressures. The plan provides direction for managing the water management right-of-way which surrounds the lake and the emergent vegetation found within the lake's littoral zone (up to 100 metres from the bank). The plan outlines how public land and natural resources in the planning area will be managed to achieve provincial government objectives while recognizing the interests and needs of local authorities, residents and lake users.
