Okanagan-Shuswap LRMP Process (Signature Page Attached) Okanagan - Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan Approved Plan April 11, 2001 Funding provided by the Crown Land Use Planning Enhancement (CLUPE) fund of Forest Renewal BC Okanagan - Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan Approved Plan April 11, 2001 Funding provided by the Crown Land Use Planning Enhancement (CLUPE) fund of Forest Renewal BC Okanagan - Shuswap LRMP Approved Plan Executive Summary The Okanagan – Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) covers approximately 2.5 million hectares. The planning process was initiated in July 1995 and completed in September 2000. The plan was approved by government in January 2001. The plan was developed by over 30 public and government participants representing a wide range of values such as water, timber, wildlife, fisheries, mining, recreation, tourism, conservation and agriculture. First Nations expressed an interest in the process but chose not to participate. They were kept informed about the process on an ongoing basis through a dedicated liaison position, as well as through the provision of meeting summaries and other LRMP material. The LRMP provides direction for the management of the Crown land and resources within the plan area. Through their recommendations package the participants clearly articulated their vision for a balanced land use strategy. The plan includes management direction that applies across the entire plan area (i.e., general management), resource management zones (RMZs) where integrated resource management is practiced based on objectives and strategies specific to that RMZ, as well as almost fifty new protected areas. The level of detail found in this plan is greater than that found in previous LRMPs. This should provide the clarity required for efficient implementation. Some of the highlights of the plan include: • Resource management zones covering 93% of the Crown land base outside of protected areas. Because the RMZs apply to particular resource attributes or values where they occur on the land base; there is extensive overlap between many of these zones. The result of this overlap is that operationally no zone can or should be considered in isolation of the other RMZs that may cover the same area. Therefore, management in any one area should meet the management direction in all overlapping RMZs. • Mineral exploration and development is permitted and encouraged in all areas, with the exception of protected areas. • Commercial timber harvesting and related access development are allowed in the vast majority of the planning area. There are currently some restrictions on commercial timber harvesting in caribou habitat. • 49 new protected areas (22 Goal 1 and 27 Goal 2), totaling approximately 123,000 hectares and increasing the protected area portion of the land base by 5% to a total of 7.9%. These areas include some of the rarest ecosystems in the province. • The plan recognizes the significance of riparian management and its implications to water, fish and wildlife. Additional protection for fish streams and larger non-fish bearing streams was afforded by allocating a ‘budget’ of 10,000 hectares of timber harvesting land base for ‘enhanced riparian reserves’. ES i Okanagan - Shuswap LRMP Approved Plan • The plan provides specific direction on managing for biodiversity by establishing the ‘biodiversity emphasis option’ assignments for each of the landscape units in the plan area, as well as guidance for the designation of old growth management areas. • Caribou are a wildlife species of concern in the plan area. The plan establishes approximately 9,500 hectares of ‘caribou reserves’ in the timber harvesting land base portion of the Mountain Caribou Habitat RMZ. In addition, another 10,000 hectares has been identified where timber harvesting will be deferred while research is undertaken that will aid in defining caribou habitat management requirements. Further action will be based upon the results of this research, which is expected to be available in seven years. • The establishment of an ‘Implementation and Monitoring Committee’ that will provide advice on activities relating to plan implementation and effectiveness monitoring on an ongoing basis.

Oldham, R. Broadland, C.D. ‘Bill’ Osborne and early members of the North Okanagan Naturalists Club. In the 1950s and 60s much of the early groundwork for the establishment of the park was made by these individuals. Special acknowledgement is owed also to Ernest Laviolette, Eugene Foisy and Charlie Foisy. Their wilderness adventure over several months one summer in the 1960s was captured on the film “The Call of the Monashee”. This film, and the publicity it created, was another pivotal component towards the protection of this spectacular wilderness area for future generations. The Friends of Monashee Park and the Cherry Ridge Management Committee were instrumental in providing information on community interests and history within the park as were current members of the North Okanagan Naturalist Club, notably Kay Bartholomew and Pamela Jenkins. Dale Kermode provided invaluable historical photos of his late father’s (Doug Kermode) early explorations in the park.

Administrative History An Ecological Reserve is an area of Crown land (public land) with the most special conservation designation within the British Columbia Protected Areas system. The purposes of the reserves are for scientific research, the establishment of benchmark areas to measure changes in ecosystems, protection of biological diversity, protection of rare and endangered organisms, and the preservation of unique, unusual or outstanding natural phenomena. In the 1960s and `70s, Canada participated in a decade of research known as the International Biological Program (IBP); this involved the description of essential sites on standard international check-sheets. In some cases, check-sheets are the only source of information for many ecological reserves. The British Columbia Ecological Reserves Act passed in 1971; this meant that BC became the first Province in Canada to give permanent protected status to ecological reserves. The Province has the world’s most comprehensive ecological reserves program, as of 2015, there are 148 ecological reserves in BC. University of British Columbia Professor Vladimir Joseph Krajina (1905-1993) advocated for the formation of ecological reserves throughout the 1950s amidst the increase in logging in the Province.

  • SMZ Foreword
    Foreword BC Spaces for Nature is a solutions-oriented, conservation organization created in 1990 to promote the protection of British Columbia’s rich diversity of wilderness and wildlife. BC Spaces works with individuals and organizations throughout the province to ensure that British Columbia’s wild spaces remain intact. Given this mandate, BC Spaces recognized the potential that Special Management Zones could make in safeguarding these values. Hence this Citizens’ Guide has been written to help the public ensure that the Special Management Zones will indeed achieve their potential. After over 125 years of forest development, British Columbia still contains extensive temperate forests. These wildlands contain an extraordinary range of plants and animals that are the envy of the world. Consequently, British Columbians have a global responsibility to steward the environmental values of our province. However, for many years British Columbia’s forests have been subjected to damaging logging practices and unsustainable overcutting. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, this led to increasing conflicts between the logging industry and conservationists. In places such as Carmanah Valley and Clayoquot Sound the tensions of these confrontations became intense. To help resolve these conflicts the B.C. government sponsored a series of land use planning processes to designate the landbase for the management of both economic and ecological values. The zones delineated through these public negotiation exercises included: Protected Areas, Integrated Management, Enhanced Resource Use and Special Management. In particular, the establishment of Special Management Zones to maintain and enhance values other than timber - such as environmental and social concerns - were critical to achieving success at the negotiation table.

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

  • 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.
