The riparian communities – willow, aspen and their associated wildlife species – in Moraine and Horseshoe parks have changed greatly since the implementation of the Elk and Vegetation Management Plan began in 2009. We’ll spend some time inside the fences, one of the major components of the Plan, to see those changes first hand, and discover some of the Plan’s not-so-obvious results over the past 15 years. Participants will come away with a greater understanding of riparian community ecology and dynamics, the science that drives management actions such as fencing, and knowledge of what we might expect in future years. This program has a brief classroom session, but participants should plan to spend most of the day outdoors and will encounter some marshy areas.
