Through the wet-area mapping support received from the Alberta Sustainable Resource Department (ASRD), we have been able to develop a cross-terrain trafficability tool useful for park management. With this tool, trail planners can project alternative trails based on a host of trafficability contraints and preferences, as these deal with, e.g., soil conditions, machine type, avoidance of easily rutted wet areas, minimization of stream crossings, and controlling traffic along more easily traversed slopes, to avoid unsightly soil erosion and stream water pollution. This poster provides details for the Ghost River Forest Land-Use Zone west of Calgary, Alberta. |
