Watershed Resiliency and Restoration Program: East Slopes Riparian Assessment

This project will collect data and develop a tool to prioritize restoration in forested riparian areas for the Government of Alberta's WRRP.

The Watershed Resiliency and Restoration Program (WRRP), funded by Alberta Environment and Parks, aims to protect communities from floods and drought by improving natural watershed functions. In 2015, the fRI Research Water Program joined the effort.

This project will collect data in the headwaters of the Bow River basin, and develop a tool to prioritize restoration in forested riparian areas for the WRRP.
