Alberta’s New Wet Areas Mapping Initiative

A series of one-day seminars were conducted in various locations throughout Alberta as part of an SFMN Capstone project.  These 1-day seminars were designed to demonstrate the utility of wet areas maps in facilitating field operations on Alberta’s forested landscapes.  The event was geared towards all audiences from all resource industries involved in operations on forested lands.  The presentations from the workshop can be found below.
