About this user

The Foothills Research Institute core study area is located in west-central Alberta, and is based in the resource community of Hinton, some three hours west of Edmonton. The area covers about 2.75 million hectare (27,500 square kilometres), and includes Jasper National Park of Canada, the Willmore Wilderness Park, W.A. Switzer Provincial Park, Whitehorse Wildland Park and the Forest Management Area of Hinton Wood Products, A division of West Fraser Mills Ltd. It also includes some provincial "crown forest management units" and the Hinton Training Centre's Cache Percotte Training Forest. Within its boundaries are three forest areas—boreal, montane, and sub-alpine—and many forest uses including timber, petroleum, and coal extraction, tourism, and recreation. We are moving beyond our core study area boundaries provincially, nationally and internationally through new agreements and understandings.
