In 2014, the Government of Alberta instated the Roadway Watercourse Crossings Remediation Directive (RWCRD) to address the issue of declining fish populations. Since then, many natural resource companies were unaware of the existence of the RWCRD until watercourse crossings under their tenure were inspected and the company penalized for non-compliance. These opaque regulatory changes, both
provincially and federally, to watercourse crossing managements that are then enforced without industry knowledge, lead to unexpected fines which then impact the environmental budgets of resource road operators. Therefore, to clarify the process, workflow, and considerations to be made regarding watercourse crossings, Woodlands North Inc. presents an optimized regulatory workflow tool for watercourse crossings to simplify the regulatory framework surrounding these projects.
People are familiar with seeing drones flying around taking pictures and video; but, drones can also be used to help combat invasive species populations. During this presentation, we will dive into the different uses of drone technology for invasive species management - this can include both scouting as well as precision spot treatments and introducing competitive species. We will also touch on the current regulatory environment surrounding drone spraying in Canada and when you might be able to expect widespread adoption of the technology near you.

This presentation will provide a broad overview of the challenges posed by current and future soil preparations. With various testing procedures, an exact model can be completed to determine what source of nutrients will need to be naturally regenerated into the soil. Native planting strategies, encouraging ideas on how to mitigate issues with non-habituated zones for restoration planning will be discussed. Strategies will include diversity in site preparation techniques with the consideration of organic mineral supplementation to the soil organics.
