The objective of this project was to survey previous planting sites to gauge seedling establishment and to restore whitebark pine sites through planting. Surveyed densities identified survival rates of 55% and 74%; with measured densities of 225 and 221 stems/ha from the planted densities of 405 and 300. The survival rates are within expected rates.

The objective of this project was to survey previous planting sites to gauge seedling establishment and to restore whitebark pine sites through planting. Surveyed densities identified survival rates of 55% and 74%; with measured densities of 225 and 221 stems/ha from the planted densities of 405 and 300. The survival rates are within expected rates. Although these survival rates are acceptable, suggestions to improve survival or increase stocking density were made including improving stock production to produce more robust seedlings and increasing planting densities at sites with easy access. A seedling production consultant hired by Splitrock Nursery in 2016 should result in the production of more robust whitebark pine seedlings in the future. All seedlings planted were from putatively resistant parents; given the moderate rust infection levels in the region, planting putatively resistant seedlings is likely to have high survival rates until seedlings with confirmed resistance are available.
Planting was conducted in five distinct units at three sites: Big Dog Mountain, Yalakom Provincial Park, and Blustry Mountain. A total of 3,248 seedlings were planted over 6.87 ha. This included planting in monitoring transect on Blustry Mountain. Each planting site required approximately a one-hour hike to access with each planter able to pack about 350 seedlings to site. This access constraint highlights some of the issues posed in increasing planting densities as suggested from the surveys as a large limitation is still present due to access issues.
