Moose Wildlife Habitat Decision Aid

This decision aid serves as a resource for land and resource managers to help balance industrial forest activities with the survival requirements of moose in British Columbia's interior. The document outlines the seasonal habitat needs of moose, emphasizing the critical importance of winter range features such as snow interception cover and the proximity of forage to security shelter. To mitigate the impact of resource extraction, the document provides detailed silviculture and harvesting considerations, offering specific strategies for managing forest stands, mineral licks, and wetlands. This document functions as a decision-making framework designed to maintain a functional landscape where moose can find adequate food and protection throughout the year.
