    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.

  • 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.

  • Cataloguing in Situ Protection of Genetic Resources for Major Commercial Forest Trees in British Columbia
    Cataloguing in situ protection of genetic resources for major commercial forest trees in British Columbia a,* a b A. Hamann , S. N. Aitken , A. D. Yanchuk Extended manuscript, cite as: Conference Proceedings, Dynamics and Conservation of Genetic Diversity in Forest nd th Ecosystems, Strassbourg, December 2 to 5 , 2002. Forest Ecology and Management (special issue) 197: 295-305. _____________________________________________________________________ Abstract Loss of genetic diversity can be due to a variety of causes and might take place unnoticed even in widespread and frequent species. In situ reserves can be a very efficient method of protecting genetic diversity in tree species if they are sufficiently large to sustain adequate populations and spatially well distributed to protect populations adapted to a range of environmental conditions. We use a geographical information system (GIS) based approach to assess the level of in situ protection using forest inventory data. Recently revised maps of seed planning units used for management of genetic resources for 11 major commercial conifer species reflect geographic variation as observed in genetic tests. On this basis we investigate how well populations are represented in protected areas. Due to a systematic expansion of protected areas in the 1990s, it appears that conifer genetic resources are now well represented in protected areas. In this study we identify the remaining gaps for in situ protection and discuss implications for genetic resource management. Further, we evaluate protected areas for their importance with respect to gene conservation, and determine whether ground truthing is necessary to confirm that populations in protected areas are sufficiently large. Keywords: gene conservation, conifers, gap analysis, GIS, British Columbia _________________________________________________________________________________ ab1.

Since 1997, all book proposals have been refereed by specialist reviewers as well as by the Society’s Books Editorial Committee. If the referees identify weaknesses in the proposal, these must be addressed before the proposal is accepted. Once the book is accepted, the Society Book Editors ensure that the volume editors follow strict guidelines on refereeing and quality control. We insist that individual papers can only be accepted after satisfactory review by two independent referees. The questions on the review forms are similar to those for Journal of the Geological Society. The referees’ forms and comments must be available to the Society’s Book Editors on request. Although many of the books result from meetings, the editors are expected to commission papers that were not presented at the meeting to ensure that the book provides a balanced coverage of the subject. Being accepted for presentation at the meeting does not guarantee inclusion in the book. More information about submitting a proposal and producing a book for the Society can be found on its web site: www.geolsoc.org.uk.
