"This plan was developed as part of one aspect of the Ministry’s operations which is their Ecosystem Restoration (ER)1 program which is responsible for developing regional ecological restoration plans, coordinating and monitoring restoration treatments, and providing advice on ecological restoration to FLNRORD staff and clients. The plan is based primarily on a review of pertinent literature and information obtained from a selection of more than 50 government and First Nations resource specialists and stakeholders during meetings, phone calls, and email exchange in February and March, 2018. This document provides a framework for integrating ecosystem restoration into other land management activities and sets broad direction for a program over the next two to five years. It is expected that the plan will help SERN and other agencies involved in ecosystem restoration. "
