Department of GEOGRAPHY The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date September 25th, 1990 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Like many North American resource-based rural communities, the Slocan Valley in southeastern British Columbia experienced a decline in its population and economy during the first half of this century. However, in the late 1960s, mainly young, well-educated and often idealistic members of the back-to-the-land movement began to re-settle the area. The influx reached its peak in the mid 1970s, and at a diminished level, continues. Currently this group of recent settlers comprises approximately one-quarter of the valley's population of 5000.

  • (Lontra Canadensis) Population Density and Habitat Characteristics on the Slocan River, British Columbia
    Determining North American River Otter (Lontra canadensis) Population Density and Habitat Characteristics on the Slocan River, British Columbia Tiffany Muncaster Recreation, Fish and Wildlife, Selkirk College RFW 271 Instructor: Brenda Beckwith Faculty Advisor: Lui Marinelli April 09, 2020 3 | Page Disclaimer The contents provided on the following pages are student work produced as part of the written evaluation in the diploma program in the School of Environment and Geomatics, Selkirk College, Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada. This work obtained a minimum assessment grade of “C” (60%) and met the requirements of the assignment for which it was completed. The author has provided written permission to include the following academic work in the Selkirk College Online Repository (SCOLR) and retains full copyright over their work. Canadian Copyright law applies to use of this work. Abstract North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) are elusive, semi-aquatic mammals that spend most of their time within aquatic ecosystems or on land-based shelters. The population density and habitat preferences of river otters in the West Kootenay region of the British Columbia Interior are not well understood. A better understanding of how habitat affects river otter occurrence can help predict areas of current and future occupancy, evaluate population trends and identify areas for management focus and restoration. Research projects on habitat characteristics and population distribution have been completed by Recreation, Fish, and Wildlife students of Selkirk College since 2011. Information has been gathered on presence/not detected, habitat preferences, and population density along the north aspect of the Slocan river and the south aspect at the confluence of the Slocan River and the Kootenay River.
