Grassland Restoration Forum

Field Tour – Grassland Restoration on Multiple Use Landscapes in the Dry Mixedgrass of SE Alberta

The hot, dry landscape of southeastern Alberta presents unique challenges for reclaiming disturbed rangelands back to native cover. Together with the Orphan Well Association and Jorgensen Land Management, the Grassland Restoration Forum (GRF) is hosting a one-day field tour showcasing reclamation projects near Manyberries, with a focus on achieving native prairie land equivalency in critical sage grouse habitat.

Join industry experts in the field as they share their knowledge and experience on regional reclamation challenges, innovative approaches, and best management practices.

Audience          
The tour is intended for reclamation practitioners, industry environmental coordinators, grassland stewards, and anyone interested in learning more about reclaiming disturbed lands within Alberta’s Dry Mixedgrass Subregion. We will be travelling together by bus from Manyberries Community Hall.

Registration     
$180 per person; students and agricultural producers $80
Register online at www.grasslandrestorationforum.ca.    
There is a $50 fee for registration cancellations up to 48 hours in advance of an event. Sorry, no cancellations after that.

Bring your own lunch!   Lunch is not provided, and there are no services in Manyberries.

How to Use the Range Plant Community Guides and Recovery Strategies

Unfortunately with a number of late cancellations for the Range Plant Community Guides & Recovery Strategies Workshop scheduled for September 13th, 2023 we’ve had to make the tough decision to cancel the workshop for this fall due to insufficient registrations for a cost recovery event.  We will be offering the same workshop in conjunction with the CLRA Conference in March 2024.  The GRF Mailing list will receive notice/announcements about the event as details become available.

We are still proceeding as planned with the Grassland Assessment Classroom & Hands on Field Training on September 14th at the Cassils Hall/Antelope Creek Ranch.

Apologies for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
