  • FSP Supporting Document Haida Gwaii Natural Resource District 2019-2024
    BCTS Chinook Business Area FSP Supporting Document Haida Gwaii Natural Resource District 2019-2024 August 2019 1. Purpose & Audience: The purpose of this document is to provide the statutory decision maker with supporting information an documentation that guides the interpretation of BCTS’ Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) for Haida Gwaii. This document also serves to support the implementation of the FSP by Qualified Professionals (as defined in the Clarifications section of the FSP) and Timber Sale Licence (TSL) holders, and is intended to provide clarification on the measurability, verifiability and relevance of results and strategies outlined in the FSP. In preparing the FSP and this supporting document, BCTS has reviewed and considered the District Manager’s Letter of Expectation (LOE) (July 25, 2016), the Chief Forester’s Guidance on the Replacement of FSPs (March 2016) and comments from Solutions Table, the public and BCTS staff. Because forest stewardship guidance is constantly evolving, this document may be updated from time to time and new versions may be issued to address updated information or guidance. 2. Application of the District Manager’s Expectations Letter: The expectations in the Chief Forester’s letter (Appendix 1) state that the District Manager should consider the content of the guidance letter in respect of local context and incorporate relevant sections in their expectations letter. The District Manager’s LOE (Appendix 2) incorporates the Chief Foresters guidance in the context of the unique management framework on Haida Gwaii. BCTS, in the preparation of the FSP and this supporting document, has considered this guidance in the following ways: New Information: BCTS has made specific changes to the FSP by adding or augmenting sections on Cedar Stewardship Areas (CSA’s), climate change, visual quality, yew management and public engagement.

We also manage these properties. At this time of year, our land management team is busy getting ready for our field season. From May to August the majority of our on-the-ground work is done. Helping to make this happen are our Conservation Youth Crews and local volunteer stewardship groups. And we need your help too. Funds are required to: • hire Conservation Youth Crews in five BC regions, including Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, Kootenay, Okanagan, and Peace River. These crews will gain valuable work experience while performing critical land management activities on our conservation properties. • install interpretive signage at Twin Lakes Ranch Conservation Area, the White Lake Basin, Dunlevy Creek, Chilanko Marsh, and more. • restore habitat to benefit wildlife at Bull River, Columbia Lake, Boundary Bay, Vaseux Lake, and the Englishman Okanagan grasslands contain some of Canada’s most River conservation properties. imperiled ecosystems. Right now The Nature Trust has great opportunities to protect some of these endangered If you would like to support any of these important grasslands.

  • Dr. Brett R. Lenz
    COLONIZER GEOARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST REGION A Dissertation DR. BRETT R. LENZ COLONIZER GEOARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST REGION, NORTH AMERICA Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester By Brett Reinhold Lenz Department of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester June 2011 1 DEDICATION This work is dedicated to Garreck, Haydn and Carver. And to Hank, for teaching me how rivers form. 2 Abstract This dissertation involves the development of a geologic framework applied to upper Pleistocene and earliest Holocene archaeological site discovery. It is argued that efforts to identify colonizer archaeological sites require knowledge of geologic processes, Quaternary stratigraphic detail and an understanding of basic soil science principles. An overview of Quaternary geologic deposits based on previous work in the region is presented. This is augmented by original research which presents a new, proposed regional pedostratigraphic framework, a new source of lithic raw material, the Beezley chalcedony, and details of a new cache of lithic tools with Paleoindian affinities made from this previously undescribed stone source. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The list of people who deserve my thanks and appreciation is large. First, to my parents and family, I give the greatest thanks for providing encouragement and support across many years. Without your steady support it would not be possible. Thanks Mom and Dad, Steph, Jen and Mellissa. To Dani and my sons, I appreciate your patience and support and for your love and encouragement that is always there. Due to a variety of factors, but mostly my own foibles, the research leading to this dissertation has taken place over a protracted period of time, and as a result, different stages of my personal development are likely reflected in it.

Launius (National Air and Space Museum), Series Editors This series presents original, high-quality, and accessible works at the cut- ting edge of scholarship within the history of science and technology. Books in the series aim to disseminate new knowledge and new perspectives about the history of science and technology, enhance and extend education, foster public understanding, and enrich cultural life. Collectively, these books will break down conventional lines of demarcation by incorporating historical perspectives into issues of current and ongoing concern, offering interna- tional and global perspectives on a variety of issues, and bridging the gap between historians and practicing scientists. In this way they advance schol- arly conversation within and across traditional disciplines but also to help define new areas of intellectual endeavor.
