Description:

Global Forest Watch Canada (GFWC) mapped linear disturbances in the Alberta Castle using ancillary data sources and air photographs from the summer of 2012. GFWC then refined the dataset to categorize roads. This dataset was used in GFWC analyses of the extent of linear disturbance and its impact on species at risk in Alberta's Castle region. The methodology used to create this data can be found in the bulletin: Bulletin 2. Linear Disturbance and Density in the Castle. A Special Series on the Castle proposed protected areas .
