Central Selkirk Caribou Project - 1996-1997 - Annual Report
|
1997
|
Annual Report (Nanuq Consulting 1997): The Forest Renewal BC Central Selkirk Caribou Habitat Inventory Project is a four-year project begun in November of 1996, involving Pope & Talbot Limited, Slocan Forest Products, and the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks. The project encompasses previous caribou telemetry work started in 1992. The study includes aerial monitoring of radio equipped caribou, follow-up field tracking, and baseline data collection. The goal of the project is to provide resource managers with information on caribou distribution, abundance, habitat selection, seasonal habitat use patterns, and forest habitat requirements to effectively integrate the needs of caribou with forest stand and landscape level forest resource planning in the Central Selkirks. This is the first annual project report and covers the period from November 1996 to the end of August 1997.

Central Selkirk Caribou Project - October 1997 to April 1998 - Annual Report
|
1998
|
Annual Report (Hamilton & Herbison 1998): The Central Selkirk Caribou Habitat Inventory Project is a joint initiative begun in November of 1996, involving Pope & Talbot Limited, Slocan Forest Products, and the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks. The project encompasses previous caribou telemetry work that was started in 1992. Monitoring of radio-collared caribou previously fitted with VHF radio-collars has continued and from November of 1996 to May of 1997, aerial monitoring of radio collared caribou, necropsy on caribou mortality, winter field tracking, and field habitat assessments were conducted. This report covers the period from October 1997 until March 1998, and telemetry monitoring and field assessments of caribou use sites were conducted consistent with the previous year methodologies.

Central Selkirk Caribou Project - April 1998 to March 1999 - Annual Report
|
1999
|
Annual Report (Hamilton 1999): The 1999 Annual Report covers the third year of a four-year Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC) caribou inventory project for the Central Selkirk caribou population. From April 1998 to March 1999, telemetry monitoring flights identified telemetry point locations spanning four caribou seasons. Habitat information for telemetry point locations was extracted from forest cover and TRIM data. Starting in the fall of 1999, telemetry information and field data, along with population census and mortality data, were analyzed to identify caribou population distribution and habitat use defined through development of stand and landscape level univariate and/or multivariate Habitat Suitability Index models.

Mountain Caribou Habitat Use and Population Characteristics for the Central Selkirks Caribou Inventory Project
|
2000
|
Annual Report (Hamilton et. al. 2000): Final report for the four-year FRBC partnership agreement inventory project on the Central Selkirk mountain caribou sub-population that began in 1996. Methods and results of the caribou trapping effort, radio telemetry work, field sampling, population censuses, and habitat characterization at the landscape and stand levels are presented. Landscape and stand-level models of caribou habitat in the Central Selkirk study area are generated and recommendations for management of the Central Selkirk sub-population are discussed.

Mountain Caribou Habitat Use and Habitat Ratings for TFL#23 Central Selkirks Caribou Inventory Project
|
2001
|
Review Draft (Hamilton & Wilson 2001): In 1996, Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC), in cooperation with local forest companies and the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MELP) initiated a four-year inventory study of the Central Selkirk subpopulation. The study collected population and life history data and generated models of stand- and landscape-scale resource selection. The inventory study identified knowledge gaps in the models' ability to adequately describe habitat attributes selected by caribou. Pope & Talbot Ltd., in cooperation with MELP, initiated a one-year study to address knowledge gaps. A species' habitat model was developed according to Resource Inventory Committee (RIC) standards for wildlife capability/suitability modelling. Ratings for site series and structural stages were generated and can be applied to the Arrow Predictive Ecosystem Map and structural stage model to map mountain caribou habitat capability and suitability on TFL #23.

Central Selkirk Mountain Caribou Habitat Use and Species-habitat Model for TFL#23
|
2002
|
Report (Hamilton & Wilson 2002): Pope & Talbot Limited, in cooperation with MELP, initiated a one-year study to address the knowledge gaps identified in the four-year inventory study of the Central Selkirk subpopulation from 1996-1999. The broad objectives of the study were: 1. to radio-collar four caribou to acquire representative sample and distribution data from collared caribou within the TFL#23 portion of the Central Selkirks mountain caribou sub-population; 2. to gather point location data through aerial monitoring of collared caribou weekly to increase the number of caribou point locations and associated forest cover and TRIM inventory data; 3. to collect stand level data to revise the stand level resource selection model and to identify important attributes related to caribou habitat management; and, 4. to generate Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM)-based caribou species-habitat model (species account and ratings table), according to RIC standards. This report should be considered an addendum to Hamilton et al (2000).
