Wildlife
Habitat Management/Restoration
 Until
wildlife habitat models have been calibrated and applied
to an entire forest area, there are several interim
strategies that can be implemented to sustain wildlife
habitat and minimize disturbance to wildlife.
Road Deactivation programs limit disturbance and hunter
access to species such as grizzly, wolverine, caribou,
moose and elk.
Coarse Woody Debris is retained in cutblocks to provide
habitat and food for species such as marten, fisher
and grizzly bear.
Wildlife Tree Patches are retained to provide habitat
for species such as grizzly bear, marten, fisher, wolverine,
moose, and elk.
Riparian Management Zones are retained to provide habitat
for each of the species that Canfor is managing.
No-Harvest Buffers are provided on a variety of wildlife
features including stick nests, bear dens, marten dens,
and wildlife licks.
Temporal Buffers may be used to delay/defer management
activities in the vicinity of nest sites during breeding
season of species such as Northern Goshawks or Trumpeter
Swans.
Wildlife Tree Patches, Riparian Management Zones and
No-Harvest Buffers are interim strategies used to sustain
wildlife habitats at the stand level.
