De Beers Canada will extract diamonds from the Victor Mine in the Hudson Bay Lowlands beginning in 2007. Over 95% of this landscape is peatland. We will conduct field experiments to determine whether peatland rehabilitation techniques developed for disturbed peatland in the south boreal region are suitable for disturbed peatlands in a subarctic context and to modify them as required. Rehabilitation protocols will be developed for operational and mine closing phases.
