The use of coniferous forests and cutovers by Newfoundland woodland caribou

► We determined woodland caribou habitat preferences across different spatial scales. ► We assessed if cutovers regenerate into quality caribou habitat. ► Caribou had similar preference for coniferous forests and cutovers. ► Forests with more forage were more likely to be used by caribou. ► Cutovers did not develop the same characteristics as forests used by caribou.
