As part of the Alberta Land Use Framework in Canada, the Silvatech Group was chosen to employ it's suite of tools to provide insight into the potential implications of alternative land management strategies within the South Saskatchewan Region.
Silvatech is supporting the Government of Albera in this planning initiative by utilizing a Geographic Information System and a landscape cumulative effects simulation model (ALCES®) to provide an integrated projection of the social, economic and environmental outcomes of alternative land use management strategies.
The data and assumptions used reflect the collaborative input of several Provincial Ministries and sector representatives. They are also informed by previous studies and initiatives.
The assessment is at a regional level providing historical trends, current state analysis and future strategy forecasting to assist planners and policy makers in the implementation of the Alberta Land Stewardship Act.
