  • Prince George Land and Resource Management Plan 2.3.3 Resource Management Zones, Objectives and Strategies
    Prince George Land and Resource Management Plan 2.3.3 Resource Management Zones, Objectives and Strategies RMZ # 1 - Parsnip High Elevation RMZ Category: Special Resource Management - Natural Habitat Management Intent: Conservation of resource values including wildlife habitat, water quality and backcountry recreation. Resource development will include measures to conserve these priority values. Caribou habitat mapping should be referred to for additional detail. Description: Most of this RMZ is rugged mountainous terrain with alpine and sub-alpine ecosystems. The headwaters of the Parsnip River and many of its tributaries occur in the zone. The main criteria for delineating this RMZ was high suitability habitat for caribou and grizzly (both blue listed species). There is also important habitat for marten and wolverine. Water quality is important for downstream fish populations in RMZ's 2 and 3. There is suitable terrain for backcountry recreation. This RMZ has significant mineral values and the potential for identification of gas reserves is high. Area: 227,000 hectares RMZ # 2 - Parsnip Side Valleys RMZ Category: General Resource Management Management Intent: Integrated resource management of a wide array of resource values and permissible uses. Description: This RMZ includes the lower valleys of Parsnip River tributaries including Colbourne Creek, Reynolds Creek, Table River, Hominka River, Missinka River and upper Parsnip River. The boundary between RMZ 1 and 2 is based on habitat mapping for caribou and grizzly bear. There is important habitat for one red-listed fish species (arctic grayling) and one blue listed fish species (bull trout). Caribou travel corridors occur in the Hominka and Table River valleys.

    Monashee Park Management Plan October 2014 Cover Page Photo Location: Mount Fosthall from Fawn Lake Cover Page Photo Credit: Kevin Wilson (BC Parks) All photos contained within this plan are credited to BC Parks (unless otherwise stated). This document replaces the Monashee Provincial Park Master Plan (1993). Monashee Park Management Plan Approved by: October 1st, 2014 ____________________________ __________________ John Trewhitt Date A/Regional Director, Kootenay Okanagan BC Parks October 1st, 2014 ______________________________ __________________ Brian Bawtinheimer Date Executive Director, Parks Planning and Management Branch BC Parks Acknowledgements BC Parks is greatly indebted to visionaries such as Bob Ahrens, Ken and Una Dobson, Mike and Jean Freeman, Doug and Nesta Kermode, Paddy Mackie, Sid Draper, George Falconer, E.G. 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.

  • Pembina Gorge MP Report141229.Indd
    North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan December 2014 North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area Master Plan December 2014 Red Canoe LLC FOREWORD The North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2015. As we look to our past and what has been accomplished over those 50 years, great things have happened and many families have created wonderful memories hiking trails, swimming in lakes and sitting by a campfire at the end of a long summer day. Recognizing the evolution of the ‘State Park’ throughout the past 50 years, it’s important to look forward and prepare for what’s to come in the next 50 years. North Dakota is growing. The ways by which people recreate is growing. Our mission as a department is to provide recreation opportunities for the people of the great state of North Dakota. As we look to meet the needs of our constituents, master planning efforts provide great insight into user trends and needs through public meetings, participation surveys and great conversations with stakeholders in the surrounding areas. As the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area came on line in 2012, the focus for development was to provide opportunity for Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) users to recreate with the implementation of a trail system to accommodate all classes of machines. It is clear, through this planning and input process, that OHV use remains important to the visitors of the Rendezvous Region but this is just one of many recreational opportunities in the Pembina Gorge.
