Abstract: Mountain Goat and Sheep Ranges were determined from both observations (telemetry and aerial sheep/goat surveys) and habitat suitability indexes. Goat and sheep ranges have been buffered by 800m to derive zones. Range delineation encompasses use during all seasons.To identify goat and sheep ranges in an effort to: a) avoid land use disturbances that may have a direct or indirect adverse effect on the behavior of the animals, and b) avoid permanent alteration of physical habitat conditions. An area south of Grande Prairie was added to the layer in November 2022.

Abstract:
Mountain Goat and Sheep Ranges were determined from both observations (telemetry and aerial sheep/goat
surveys) and habitat suitability indexes. Goat and sheep ranges have been buffered by 800m to derive zones.
Range delineation encompasses use during all seasons.To identify goat and sheep ranges in an effort to: a)
avoid land use disturbances that may have a direct or indirect adverse effect on the behavior of the
animals, and b) avoid permanent alteration of physical habitat conditions. An area south of Grande Prairie
was added to the layer in November 2022.
Purpose:
To provide the general public, industrial operators and government departments information regarding the
location of mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) and bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) ranges. Specific
operating conditions apply to the Goat and Sheep Ranges.
