We set up 37 wildlife cameras and collared 11 animals to monitor how culturally important wildlife are using the treated areas. Data from before and after treatments will show whether animals change their behaviour following treatments and help identify priority areas to target for future treatment.

Wigwam Flats had historic fires every 10-15 years. With nearby urban areas and the spread of invasive plants, the area hasn’t burned since the 1980s. 85 ha were thinned, pruned, and slashed to combat forest encroachment and: ✔️maintain ecosystem health ✔️increase ungulate forage and sightlines
