1:40,000 Olalla Twin Lakes Area Gallager Lake and Willowbrook H I G H W A Y 9 7 B R IG OF A FR D O There are three themes associated with this map: A E D T M O R U NTAIN BIKE A IL Call Density is a calculation of magnitude per unit area of bear incident points using a kernel function to fit a smoothly tapered surface to each point (It is S U important to note that cougar incident data was not used for analysis purposes). A search radius of 564m was used creating a result that equals the number M 2 M D of points per 1 km . This surface clearly shows areas with a high density of incident reports. E A R O L R A E T N O Note: There are no areas with any significant reported density of bear incidents south of Gallager Lake, in Keremeos or Cawston. D T S O U T The second theme shown on this map are locations of human use sites. These include schools, parks, campgrounds, and recreational trails. By H ÆI Crescent Beach comparing these locations to the call density surface, one may identify human use sites located in or abjacent to areas with high numbers of human- KV R N bear incidents. A R O A M A The last theme shown on this map are areas of moderate to high quality bear habitat*: The quality of bear feeding habitat changes from season C T A A R Dickinson Family Farm [ ÆI Living Memorial Baseball Park to season**, therefore, these areas of habitat are uniquely mapped by season**. These habitat areas are rated according to the BC Wildlife T t k W Habitat Ratings Standards Species Account for the South Okanagan-Similkameen, which was adapted from the generic Black Bear species R I G account available on the MSRM Wildlife Habitat Ratings website.

  • Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park Concept Plan Page Ii
    Executive Summary The Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park offers a unique combination of historic, cultural landscape, natural and recreation values of importance to the local community, the region, and beyond. This 4 ha (10 acre) park, established in 2002, is located on the west shore of Okanagan Lake on Gellatly Point in Westbank. The park is situated amidst residential, agricultural and tourist commercial land uses, in an area steeped in the history of aboriginal use, early agricultural development and the Gellatly family. Terrain is flat, and soils are rich and productive. The heritage nut orchard reflects close to a century of selecting, testing and breeding walnuts, filberts and chestnuts to develop cultivars that combined high quality with frost hardiness. Gene sources from around the world were gathered, tested and intercrossed with related North American species in order to produce new hybrid varieties. While some of the trees are close to one hundred years old, many of the rows of trees date from the mid-1960’s when Jack Gellatly was actively testing and selecting amongst native species, exotics, and their hybrids. The Gellatly Nut Farm has been described as the “cradle of hardy nut growing and breeding in North America and beyond” and continues to be popular for nut sales in the fall. Two of the historic buildings in the park are considered highly significant, the Gellatly residence and the barn. The log cabin that forms the core of the Gellatly residence was constructed in 1905 as a residence for Jack Gellatly. Consisting of vertical poplar logs, this building is unique in the Okanagan Valley.

  • (Diptera: Conopidae) of British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska
    !38 J. Entomol. Soc. Brit. Columbia 114, December 2017 An updated and annotated checklist of the thick-headed flies (Diptera: Conopidae) of British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska JOEL F. GIBSON1 ABSTRACT The thick-headed flies (Diptera: Conopidae) are rarely observed parasitoids. Confirmed hosts include many species of bees and wasps. Often collected from flowers, conopids may serve as either pollinators or pollinator predators. The last detailed checklist of the Conopidae of British Columbia was published in 1959. An updated checklist for British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska is presented based on over 1,000 specimens and specimen records. Geographical distribution, using an ecoprovince approach, is documented for each of 26 species in the region. Host, plant association, and hilltopping behavioural records based on past literature and new observations are also included. An identification key to all species recorded is included. Key words: parasitoid, biogeography, plant associations, host associations, Nearctic INTRODUCTION Conopidae (thick-headed flies) is a small, rarely collected family within the acalyptrate Diptera. Many species are noted for their mimicry of wasps and bees. Adult female conopids deposit eggs within living hosts using modified abdominal structures, often in midflight. The larvae develop within the host, slowly consuming tissue, until the host succumbs. Pupation occurs inside the host. Adult eclosion from the host’s corpse usually follows an overwintering period. Various species of Hymenoptera are reported as hosts, but confirmation of host status by rearing is rare (Gibson et al., 2014). The possible impact of Conopidae on pollinator communities has been the focus of some research (e.g., Schmid-Hempel and Schmid-Hempel 1996, Gillespie 2010, Malfi and Roulston 2013).
