Monday to Friday, 8:15am to 4:30pm originator This dataset provides the point locations of horse bands as they were observed during annual aerial surveys. Equine Management Zones are surveyed using a helicopter and horses observed on the landscape during minimum count surveys are reported. Data is stored in file geodatabase, feature class format with associated attributes, meaning each point has a number of horses observed and age class. This dataset simply reports the horses counted on the landscape at one snapshot in time. This data also depicts the flight track flown during the annual aerial minimum counts. Surveys are flown by helicopter once per year when suitable conditions permit. Areas are typically flown by grid pattern within high density areas and over known horse locations. In low density areas, preferred habitats are flown. For additional methodology information and results from prior years please visit https://www.alberta.ca/feral-horse-management.aspx This data depicts the physical observation of horses on the landscape during the annual aerial counts as well as the flight track flown. The data collected during annual minimum count surveys provides important information to monitor the minimum number of horses currently present on the landscape. completed Alberta Forestry and Parks, Government of Alberta Rangeland Stewardship and Land Use Policy, Lands Operations Division
