Abstract:
The Berland-Smoky area covers approximately a million hectares east of Grande Cache, Alberta. As a place with both high resource values and high industry interest, it is an area where collaboration and integrated planning can have significant and positive impacts on the landscape. To proactively manage these values, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development has partnered with the Foothills Landscape Management Forum, who represents oil and gas and forestry companies that operate in the area, on a planning initiative that uses the integrated approach to land management. The anticipated result will be a secondary road plan, the first of its kind in Alberta.
