Northern Fescue native grasslands are highly fragmented. Competent pre-disturbance site assessment and follow through are critical to preparing effective and cost-efficient construction and reclamation plans. This two-day classroom and the field-based course cover how to:

Use the Range Plant Community Guides to assess grasslands
Develop a Recovery Strategy for Disturbances
Design and source seed mixes for industrial disturbances to meet Reclamation Criteria conservation objectives.

These tools provide valuable context to interpret the results of data collected for NEW AEP Conservation Assessments – Strategic Siting and Pre-disturbance Site Assessments for Industrial Activities on Native Grasslands.

Instructors: B. Adams, M. Neville, P. Desserud, N. Ball

Target Audience Environmental and construction consultants and planners, operations personnel and reclamation practitioners working in native grassland and parkland.

Learning Objectives

Gain a basic understanding of the ecosystem classification concepts for the Grassland and Parkland Range Plant Community Guides.
Learn to navigate through the guides to link site conditions, soils and determine plant communities – with hands-on practice.
Overview of disturbance risk assessments and strategic siting for grassland plant communities.
Work through the development of appropriate mitigation and restoration strategies, linked to types of disturbance and plant community, for plant community discussed.
Designing and sourcing native seed mixes and other plant materials.
