  • Paper Applying Human Dimensions Theory Into Practice
    GWS2013 abstracts as of January 2, 2013 • Listed alphabetically by lead author / organizer (Invited Papers Sessions grouped at end of file) Applying Human Dimensions Theory Into Practice: A Story of The 556th National Wildlife Refuge 5399 The recent establishment of the Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area demonstrates how human dimensions, climate change, and ecological resilience strongly influenced the Paper biological planning process. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service engaged a disparate group of stakeholders, partners, and technical experts to inform the refuge’s conservation design. Human dimensions tools were used to understand the cultural ecosystem services that informed the outdoor recreational compatibility determinations. Partnership engagement was integral in developing the resource management plan. Stakeholder engagement was critical because two-thirds of the refuge will be conservation easements, providing wildlife benefits on lands that will continue to be owned and managed by willing landowners for agricultural production. The final planning document was informed by the biological and social drivers of Central Florida. In the end, the Everglades Headwaters will serve as a wildlife and ecological greenway between existing conservation lands from central Florida to Everglades National Park. Value The Everglades Headwaters NWR is a fusion of theoretical and applied human dimensions in the context of proposition: establishing a federal protected place.

The FMCBC represents non-motorized recreationists and outdoor clubs from around the province with a membership of about 3500 individuals. The usual access on foot to the area of Tantalus Provincial Park has been to drive to the east bank of the Squamish River and cross the river by canoe to the Lake Lovely Water trailhead on the west side. The 4km trail leads to Lake Lovely Water and the Alpine Club of Canada’s Tantalus Hut. This area is very popular for hiking, rock climbing and mountaineering in the spectacularly rugged Tantalus Range. Many parties also just hike up to Lake Lovely Water to camp with glacier views at the lake. Long-term, secure access to Lake Lovely Water and Tantalus Provincial Park is compromised by the necessity of crossing private property to reach the trail in Tantalus Provincial Park. On the east side of the Squamish River, the last part of the road and the usual parking area is on Squamish Nation land, while the lower section of the trail on the west bank of the river is on private land that is currently for sale.

The Elaho is a tributary of the Squamish River and is, in fact, longer in linear length than the Squamish River. The Elaho River was historically an important salmon stream, especially for the Squamish Nation people, who set up fishing villages in the upper watershed by Sims Creek. However, due to road construction in the 1960s, an anthropogenic barrier was formed, all but restricting access to anadromous salmonids. Land use within the Elaho River watershed also changed within the past century with the inclusion in the early 1960s of Tree Farm Licence 38 that opened the area up to logging. Anecdotal sightings of coho and Chinook salmon within the past decade indicate that under certain circumstances salmon can still access the upper Elaho River watershed but these events appear to be increasingly rare. Squamish Nation has been pursuing opportunities to remove or alter the anadromous obstruction and open the upper watershed again to anadromous passage.
