Grouse Mountain Post Burn Vegetation Inventory

INTRODUCTION

On May 15, 2002, a burn was carried out on Grouse Mountain by Northwest Fire Centre personnel. This burn was planned by the Bulkley Forest District Range section and included a 1 ha monitoring plot that was established in the summer of 2002 by Oikos Ecological Services Ltd as part of a grassland restoration project in the Prince Rupert Forest Region (Oikos 2002). After the burn, the 1 ha area was resampled. This report discusses first growing season impacts of the burn on the vegetation community and makes some recommendations for the site.
