Summary: During this study, activities conducted will include vegetation mapping, rare plant surveys, rare plant mitigation planning, timber cruising, and landform, soil and permafrost investigations. Vegetation mapping surveys will consist of visual observations from a helicopter to confirm vegetation types for mapping. These surveys will be conducted in conjuction with rare plant surveys. Sampling equi...

Summary: Eleven plant species of national significance are found in the Mackenzie Delta. Following a preliminary classification using satellite images, the presence or absence of these species within sample areas will be determined during field surveys. After field data are collected, a more refined landscape classification model will be produced. To refine and test this model, 30 sites per vegetation com...

Licensed Year(s): 2002 2001 2000
Summary: This study will gather baseline information on wildlife and vegetation to help fulfill step 5 of the protected areas strategy process. Two people (Steve Moore and one guide from Deline) will travel by boat from Deline to Edacho Peninsula and spend six days collecting baseline information on wildlife and ecosystem units. Thirty-six sites will be assessed and classified to ecosystem type. For eac...

Licensed Year(s): 1998
Summary: Fisheries and vegetation field work will begin in June 1998. Three small streams north of Fort Liard will be surveyed to determine if fish are present or absent and to assess the fish habitat in each creek. Two of these creeks are tributaries to the Liard River and are located near the P66 well site. Fisherman Creek, the tributary draining into Fisherman Lake from the Liard Range will also be surv...

Licensed Year(s): 1997
Summary: Activities at the Damoti Lake Project Site will be as follows; 1) Archaeology - short site visit with field survey, 2) Terrestrial work will emphasize vegetation types and their value as wildlife habitat. Specific surveys for signs of moose, furbearers, raptors and other species, 3) Aquatic studies will emphasize habitat values in both lake and stream locations. Water quality work, 4) Hydrology w...
