Projects – Pennask Access Management – Neil Findlay

The Pennask Mountain & surrounding area has been identified as high priority wildlife habitat for access management and road deactivation by FLNRO Region 8 wildlife biologists. Moose and mule deer habitat have been identified as valued components (VCs) for this project. These VCs will form the basis for the assessment, but can be considered a proxy for other wildlife habitat. Improvement in moose and mule deer habitat will inadvertently show up as improvements in other habitats (i.e., road mitigation leading to a decreased risk to aquatic ecosystems).
