Monitoring & Assessment of Vegetation Management Techniques in BC and Alberta

This project will involve the monitoring and assessment of newly implemented vegetation management processes at Spectrum Resource Group. The efficacy and consistency of herbicide application in forestry and industrially-related environments will be observed, and notes and recommendations will be made on how new procedures compare to traditional methods. Specifically, the intern will: collect information about the consistency and efficacy of herbicides applied in various locations throughout BC and Alberta; monitor and assess biocontrol agents that are used on specific invasive weeds; and make observations concerning the efficacy of the herbicides in various locations, on various species, and how these compare to biocontrol agents in their ability to reduce invasive weed outbreak.
