Cattle in the boreal forest/arctic ground squirrel project

This report details research into the effectiveness, and different methods of creating of silvopasture in the Yukon. 

One of the main goals is to discover if livestock can be used to create a silvopasture from existing Yukon forest, in this case predominantly aspen woodland with some willow and spruce. The other goal is to investigate if creating silvopasture from forest encourages utilisation of the area by the arctic ground squirrel. Arctic ground squirrels are an important protein source in Indigenous diets. Thus, does developing woodland or forest into silvopasture increase conventional, and Indigenous protein production?
