You  make long, what we call litoral zones or edge zones for transition zones.    Some of the other things we\u2019ve learned that you don\u2019t just go in and plant greenhouse stock willy nilly.  There\u2019s certain growth tolerances.  You\u2019re wasting your time to do that.  Some of it is about efficiency .  So you want to know the species that are adapted and the most efficient way to move them over.  You don\u2019t take intact peat blocks and plant them in the middle of winter as Dale Vitt showed.  They dry out. It\u2019s an inefficient way of on it.     So some of it is about behaving more efficiently but really our focus is on effectiveness.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe students presented some of there findings at a recent workshop on oil sands reclamation.\n <\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to  <b>Syncrude Canada Ltd<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-04-26<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reconstructing wetlands is a major component of <b>oil sands reclamation.<\/b> But it takes time and effort to understand the complexities of <b>wetland ecology.<\/b> CFRAWS leader <b>Dr. Lee Foote <\/b>lists some of the research by graduate students and university scientists that\u2019s had an influence on practices of oil sands companies. <em> (Syncrude Canada Ltd)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,59,19,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1006","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-oil-sands","category-syncrude","category-water","category-wildlife","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1006","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1006"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4711,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1006\/revisions\/4711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
