Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: 16 p. : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Native vegetation along rights-of-way represents a large proportion of the available wildlife cover in many areas of the southern prairie provinces. It is relatively safe from permanent destruction, as occurs on cultivated farmlands, and is increasingly important to wildlife as more and more alternative native cover is converted to agricultural use.Oetting (Bluejay 1971) measured a total of 2,017,458 acres of vegetation incorporated in rights-of-way. The Canadian National Railway, Western Region, contains about 8,300 acres of land of Class 1 and 11 capability for water-fowl production (Canada Land Inventory 1969) on about 1,000 miles of right-of-way in southwestern Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan.
