TFL 23 Caribou Assessment Report Circle City - Block(s): 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
|
2002
|
Caribou Assessment Report (Seaton & Hamilton 2002): Reconnaissance and stand-level surveys were conducted. Blocks 1 - 4 are in the ICHwk1, and transitional to the ESSFwc1 -wc4 biogeoclimatic variants along their top boundary's. Block 5 is in the ESSF wc1 - wc4. PEM-based seasonal caribou habitat suitability mapping rates cutblocks 1,2 and 3 as high for summer/fall (SF), early winter (WE) and spring (P) and moderate for late winter (LW). Block 4 is rated moderate for all seasons, and block 5 is rated as moderate for spring and summer/fall and high for late winter. (Hamilton and Wilson 2002). The caribou management strategy for TFL23 (LUP Working Group 2002) identified this proposed development area as a caribou special management zone (Zone 2). Field surveys included recording evidence of caribou use, rating habitat value, arboreal lichen estimates, and wildlife observations. Maps include caribou telemetry point locations and seasonal caribou capability/suitability.

TFL 23 Caribou Assessment & Monitoring Report: Pool Creek, Coffee Creek and St. Leon South East 2008
|
2008
|
Caribou Assessment Report (Seaton & Hamilton 2008): Reconnaissance-level assessments were conducted in 2007 Pool Creek, Coffee Creek, and St. Leon South East Planning Units (Appendix 1). Field sampling procedures followed provincial wildlife habitat assessment procedures (RIC 1998). Defining the planning unit, inventory collation and mapping and a reconnaissance-level field assessment were conducted. In 2007 P&T filed for bankruptcy protection and the stand-level field assessment and final reporting was not completed. Monitoring was conducted in locations throughout TFL 23 in 2007 (See Table 2 & 3). See report for specific results and caribou telemetry point location maps.
