Description

Properly managed and healthy rangelands provide many benefits. These include forage for livestock, proper watershed function, habitat and forage for wildlife, nutrient and energy cycling, soil protection and maintenance of biodiversity. When riparian areas are present, management becomes particularly challenging. Riparian areas are those areas along waterbodies where vegetation and soils are strongly influenced by the presence of water. These areas are usually very attractive to livestock and highly sensitive to disturbance. This report examines the results obtained from 2007-2009.

Properly managed and healthy rangelands provide many benefits. These include forage for livestock, proper watershed function, habitat and forage for wildlife, nutrient and energy cycling, soil protection and maintenance of biodiversity. When riparian areas are present, management becomes particularly challenging. Riparian areas are those areas along waterbodies where vegetation and soils are strongly influenced by the presence of water. These areas are usually very attractive to livestock and highly sensitive to disturbance. A GPS collar project was conducted in 2006 on a grazing lease adjacent to Kimiwan Lake to document livestock use of rangeland plant communities and demonstrate that riparian health and habitat for wildlife, waterfowls, shorebirds and other waterbirds can be maintained when livestock grazing is properly managed.
