'The Evolution of a British Colmblan Forest Landscape. As Observed in the Soo Public Sustained Yield Unit." ERIC C. YOUNG (date) + ABSTRACT % The study examines the evolution of forest policies, institutions and practices ii British Columbia with particular reference to the Soo Public Sustained Yield Unit. The field area was chosen because of a well-documented history of logging and because resource conf li'cts are intensif ing as recreational pressure from metropolitan -vancouver increases, be analysis focuses upon: 1) the policy and institutional framework of forest land management, as determined from published documents" and interviews; 2) the record of successive l~gging~ractices in the Soo, e-g. road construction, ~"utting, burning and replanting; and 3) the .body of literature on logging technology, forest practices and their impacts upon the environment, A specific resource use conflict (road construction in the upper Lillooet valley) is used to illustrate changing policy and planning practices.b The -'-. -- physical capabilities and constraints of the study area are assessed. These include slope, climate, forest type, wildlife and recreational values, The study concludes that there .have been several key legislative and policy decidons that have shaped the evolution - of the Soo forest landscape, ~h&early decision to retain -- Crown ownership of natural resources uas critical because it iii anabled the Crown to ~eriodically modify its resource legislation as technologic conditions changed, Contrary ,&to I. this trend, the issuance of 300 Timber Licenses 'betueen 1905 r and 1907 forfeited Crown ccctrol over the majority of the SooSs 4' prime old growth - stands, Industry has depended upon these stands for more than half of its timber ,zdpply since t'he 19308s, and it is upon them that the greatest environmental disruption in, the Soo has occurred, The founding of the Forest ~ervl<e in 1913 uas the first attempt to recoup some of the lost ccntrol and gpve the Crovn an admJnistrative arm through uhich it could monitor the forests, A major watershed va~sthe Crovn Commission of 1944, ubich led to the establishment of the Tree Farm Licenses and Public Sustained Yield Units. The formation of the SO; Unit regained some control over the forest by more closely involving industry in the management of the resource, Recent major advances have been the ,Polio system and the planning Guidelines f cr Coastal Logging Operatioqs, uhich have again broadened the sccpe of decision making to include other governmental and private sources. - ACKBOULEDGEMENTS -t There are many people to uhom 1 an indebted and vish to ext2nP ny thanks. certain among bka ckserve specific' ' mention. f vish to thank the company that logged certain of the-eastern portions of flaming Park and thus incited the 'anger which provided the irpetus for this thesis, 1- wish to express ay appreciation to Dr. !la L.

The Pacific ~ortj;restwas portrayed as a magnificent 4 storehouse of riches to all of Europe and eastern North America, With such promises in mind people came to the ' Horthvest to find- their fortune in the use of its land and resoorces. In time their views uduld change, valuing some resources above others, Oclike funds in a bank, the resources of a landscape fluctuate in worth through time depending upon accessitility, markets and perceived desirability. An understanding of those conditions and the -- changes bhey produce, though often overlooked in the past, is ' of prime interest to anyone concerned with current resource 7 policies and practices.

  • Community Risk Assessment
    COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Abstract This Community Risk Assessment is a component of the SLRD Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. A Community Risk Assessment is the foundation for any local authority emergency management program. It informs risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation. Section 2(1) of this regulation requires local authorities to prepare emergency plans that reflects their assessment of the relative risk of occurrence, and the potential impact, of emergencies or disasters on people and property. SLRD Emergency Program [email protected] Version: 1.0 Published: January, 2021 SLRD Community Risk Assessment SLRD Emergency Management Program Executive Summary This Community Risk Assessment (CRA) is a component of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and presents a survey and analysis of known hazards, risks and related community vulnerabilities in the SLRD. The purpose of a CRA is to: • Consider all known hazards that may trigger a risk event and impact communities of the SLRD; • Identify what would trigger a risk event to occur; and • Determine what the potential impact would be if the risk event did occur. The results of the CRA inform risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation.

  • Duffey Lake Provincial Park
    Duffey Lake Provincial Park M ANAGEMENT LAN P Prepared by: Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks BC Parks, Garibaldi/Sunshine Coast District Brackendale, B.C. in conjunction with: Ministry of Environment, Terra Firma Environmental Consultants Lands and Parks BC Parks Division Duffey Lake Provincial Park M ANAGEMENT LAN P PARK VISION Duffey Lake Park will continue to be an important part of the parks system on both a regional and provincial level. While the park is relatively small, its key habitat components, unique setting in the transition zone between the coast mountains and the dry interior, and recreational opportunities will make this area a favourite for both destination visitors and the travelling public. Should resource and rural development increase in nearby areas, Duffey Lake Park’s varied habitats for bear, deer, goats, raptors and other wildlife, particularly on the north-west side, will become even more important in providing wildlife the necessary food, cover and shelter to sustain populations in the region. The park will continue to have high water quality, sustained fish populations and together with the wetland habitats, continue to be a high quality aquatic ecosystem. Duffey Lake Park will continue to be important for First Nation traditional use and cultural values. BC Parks, together with the First Nation’s communities, will ensure that significant cultural sites within the park are protected from development impacts and that recreation activities in the park are respectful of the environment and First Nation traditional use. Visitors to the park will be attracted to the low-impact recreational opportunities including day-use and multi-day activities.
