It is already heavily used for noncommercial and commercial recreation. The proposed Zincton resort contemplates an explosive, malignant growth of development, human occupation and highway traffic in an area that is now oc- cupied by provincially important populations of grizzly bears, mountain goats and western toads. When wildlands are left undeveloped, wildlife can continue to survive, but large- scale tourism development makes the whole area vulnerable to ruthless exploitation for large-scale profits. Professional assessments indicate that the proposal would greatly reduce wild species over a large area, while also sab- otaging decades of investments by government and local citizens to enable sustainable, wilder- ness-based recreation and tourism. 1 "!"!!"&!%#%&$% Box 329, New Denver, British Columbia, Canada V0G 1S0 Phone: (250) 358-2333, E-mail: [email protected], www.vws.org June 19, 2000 Kelly Northcott Mountain Resorts Branch Min. of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations #510-175 Second Avenue Kamloops, BC, V2C 5W1 Phone: (250) 312 7235 REVIEW OF ZINCTON RESORT EXPRESSION OF INTEREST I.

That would be three times the population of New Denver, and the largest town within a 75-kilometre radius, ie, larger than Kaslo. According to the Expression of Interest (EOI) it would have “bunkhouses, private cabins, restaurants, bars, spas, general store, and other resort-related businesses” (he has mentioned “boutiques” plus a Val- halla Pure store).

  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.

  • Landforms of British Columbia 1976
    Landforms of British Columbia A Physiographic Outline bY Bulletin 48 Stuart S. Holland 1976 FOREWORD British Columbia has more variety in its climate and scenery than any other Province of Canada. The mildness and wetness of the southern coast is in sharp contrast with the extreme dryness of the desert areas in the interior and the harshness of subarctic conditions in the northernmost parts. Moreover, in every part, climate and vegetation vary with altitude and to a lesser extent with configuration of the land. Although the Province includes almost a thousand-mile length of one of the world’s greatest mountain chains, that which borders the north Pacitic Ocean, it is not all mountainous but contains a variety of lowlands and intermontane areas. Because of the abundance of mountains, and because of its short history of settlement, a good deal of British Columbia is almost uninhabited and almost unknown. However, the concept of accessibility has changed profoundly in the past 20 years, owing largely to the use of aircraft and particularly the helicopter. There is now complete coverage by air photography, and by far the largest part of the Province has been mapped topographically and geologically. In the same period of time the highways have been very greatly improved, and the secondary roads are much more numerous. The averagecitizen is much more aware of his Province, but, although knowledge has greatly improved with access,many misconceptions remain on the part of the general public as to the precise meaning even of such names as Cascade Mountains, Fraser Plateau, and many others.

'(""'(&"#&#(&% !'!'&#"%(&%('#''%(%'('%'!(&%( &("&(&(((( The BC government should not sacrifice our priceless wildlife habitat and public recreation land to be exploited by large-scale tourism de- velopment. In the past, many of BC’s most su- perb scenic, wilderness and wildlife areas were put on a tragic path of luxury development to draw hordes of people and money for devel- opers. Today, our remaining wildlands are more valuable than areas overrun by tourists; they have a crucial role to play in stemming the loss of species, and preserving opportuni- ties for enjoying nature without destroying it. $ $$($ ( 1 $ $$($ ( Box 329, New Denver, British Columbia, Canada V0G 1S0 Phone: (250) 358-2333, E-mail: [email protected], www.vws.org June 4, 2020 Kelly Northcott Mountain Resorts Branch Min. of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations #510-175 Second Avenue Kamloops, BC, V2C 5W1 Phone: (250) 312 7235 REVIEW OF ZINCTON RESORT EXPRESSION OF INTEREST I. SUMMARY Mr. David Harley seeks to build a resort town on 1,000 hectares of private land at Three Forks, with an additional 4,500 hectares of Crown land for skiing and mountain biking development. The total resort area would follow Highway 31A for 12 kilometres between Three Forks and Retallack, and be adjacent to the southernmost boundary of Goat Range Provincial Park. It is said to be bigger than Whistler and Blackcomb combined. The resort town on the private land would have a resort capacity for 1,750 people, which is three times the population of New Denver. The private land portion covers an area a little larger than Nelson, BC; by population it would be the largest town within a 75-kilometre radius, and be populated with “bunkhouses, private cabins, restaurants, bars, spas, general store, and other resort-related businesses”.

  • Kootenay-Boundary BEC Update
    Kootenay-Boundary BEC Update Deb MacKillop Research Ecologist Kootenay Boundary Nelson, BC 250-354-6389 [email protected] Background BEC mapping and site classification are fundamental to many forestry, planning, conservation, and environmental assessment initiatives. Due to improved knowledge and information, BEC has changed considerably over the past 15 years. The most current version of BEC mapping is version 8, released in January 2012 and available on GeoBC and BECWeb - http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/becweb/. Users should check this site for updates each year or use the GeoBC (LRDW) website for the “official” version. NOTE: no new changes have occurred in the Kootenay-Boundary region in this version. In the Kootenay Boundary area, the most recent site series classifications are LMH 20 – Braumandl and Curran 1992 and, for the IDFxh4, ICHdw2, ICHdm, and ESSFdm, a supplement to LMH 20 – Braumandl and Dykstra 2005. These are available online at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/becweb/resources/classificationreports/regional/neguides.html Over the next 1- 3 years, BEC users should expect changes to virtually all units in the Kootenay/Boundary. This update provides a summary of current and proposed changes to BEC in the Kootenay-Boundary Region. BEC Revision Process and Progress The 1992 Field Guide for the Nelson Region was based on ~1250 sample plots. Between 1992 and present, ~ 8000 plots from a number of ecosystem mapping projects (TEM and PEM), SIBEC, environmental assessment, and others were obtained and incorporated into the Provincial Ecology Program database. Many of these data are not of sufficient detail for use in site series development, but can contribute to biogeoclimatic mapping.
