The Peace/Williston Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (PWFWCP)

Wildlife Projects

Objective	To prepare biophysical habitat and wildlife capability and suitability maps for areas within the Williston Reservoir watershed. Wildlife species included ungulates, bears, and/or furbearers.
Study area	Areas within the Williston Reservoir watershed.
Methods	Terrain, vegetation, and wildlife experts investigated field sites to obtain information on environmental features, terrain, soil, vegetation, and wildlife use. Site data, in conjunction with existing information and air photo interpretation, were used to describe and map terrain and biophysical habitat units for the study area. These units were then used to determine the area's capability and/or suitability for the various wildlife species.
Study period	1990 - 1993
Project status	Completed

A joint initiative of BC Hydro, the BC Ministry of Environment, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada
