This one day, class-based course presents the theorybehind the Range Plant Community Guide manuals and guided practice using them. It will providecontext to apply the results of data collected during pre-disturbance site assessment, to development of a recovery strategy for impacts to native grasslands for development and reclamation planning.\nLearning Objectives\n\nGain a basic understanding of the ecosystem classification concepts for the Grassland and ParklandRange Plant Community Guides.\n Learn how to navigate through the guides to link site conditions, soils and determine plant communities.Participants will practice on data sets for each of the two classification systems.\n Overview of disturbance risk assessments and strategic siting for grassland plant communities\nWork through the development of appropriate mitigation and restoration strategies, linked to types ofdisturbance, for each plant community discussed.\n\nTarget Audience\nDesigned for planners, reclamation practitioners, agrologists, ecologists, land stewards, regulators, students, andanyone interested in learning more about native grassland classification, strategic siting of potential disturbances,and recovery strategies planning.\nRegistration is $250.00 per person.\nRegister online via Paypal or contact Donna Watt at:corpirate@shaw.ca or (403) 563-8925, for student rates, etc. \nThere is a $50 administration fee forregistration cancellations up to 48 hours in advance of an event.\nSorry, no cancellations after that.
