From April 28 to May 14, 1987, I conducted a practicum project to fulfill the requirements of the Wildland Recreation program. The project was undertaken in Banff National Park with the Warden Service. Brian Low, a Warden Service employee, supervised my work. I documented methodology for data collection, entered vegetation data onto a computer program for analysis, and proposed data evaluation and analysis possibilities.
This report presents the results of my practicum project. The report includes data collection methods, the computer program set-up for data evaluation, and proposed data evaluation possibilities. The national parks role in the study of prescribed burning is also discussed.
