The Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA) was established in 1997. FRIAA's duties have been delegated by the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry to promote and initiate projects that enhance Alberta's forest resources.
Woodland caribou are a cultural and ecological icon of Alberta’s forests. However, they are also a threatened species and represent a significant conservation challenge.
The fRI Research Caribou Program carries out applied research, in partnership with industry and the Government of Alberta, to help maintain caribou herds in Alberta into the future.
There are large volumes of information on forest birds; this program began to synthesize this information in a useful way for forest management applications for bird conservation at multiple scales: single species, broad habitats, and the overall landscape.
The program carries out focused research on infestations of mountain pine beetle in Alberta.
This project uses direct and indirect methods to determine how caribou respond to linear features at different stages of re-vegetation.
This project will determine how MPB-killed stands are impacting caribou and grizzly bear habitat.
What will happen to stands after mountain pine beetle infestations?
This project will examine hydrological and vegetation responses in the grey attack stage.
This project on riparian mapping aims to improve management and operational efficiency by capitalizing on the high quality remote sensing data available in Alberta.
This project explores the 20 to 50-year implications of MPB rehabilitation on timber and non-timber values.
Locating habitat and prioritizing restoration in west-central Alberta.
The Landscapes in Motion project is here to discover some of the stories behind the landscapes in the southern Rockies of Alberta.
Beginning in 2018, this project will investigate how cutblock design can be less favourable for deer, moose, and elk.
This DNA mark-recapture study uses hair snags to conduct the first repeat estimate of the population of grizzly bears in BMA 4.
On June 19 and 20, 2018, the Healthy Landscapes Program put on a two-day workshop in Edmonton called "From Concept to Reality: Creating a Road Map for Ecosystem-Based Management".
A communication and education project from the Healthy Landscapes Program.
