    Coastal Invasive Plant Management Strategy Prepared by Brian Wikeem, P.Ag. and Sandra Wikeem Solterra Resources Inc . June 30, 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The BC Agricultural Research and Development Corporation and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure are gratefully acknowledged for financial support for this project. In-kind support was also provided by the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, BC Ministry of Environment, and the BC Ministry of Forests and Range. The members of the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee board of directors including Becky Brown, Glenda Barr, Zak Henderson, Michele Jones, Rob Lawrence, Kate Miller, June Pretzer, Valentin Schaefer, and Ernie Sellentin are thanked for their contributions to this report. Lynn Atwood, past Program Coordinator, is thanked for providing unpublished reports that furnished background information. Jeff Hallworth and Melissa Noel are especially acknowledged for collecting material, reviewing drafts of the report, and overall support. Coastal Invasive Plant Management Strategy ___________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Invasive plants have been a problem in Coastal British Columbia (BC) since earliest European settlement but little has been done to control these species until recently. The Coastal Invasive Plant Committee (CIPC) was formed in 2005 to service Vancouver Island and surrounding coastal communities. The committee consists of public and private sector groups, First Nations, industry, utilities, and conservation groups that share a common interest in promoting coordination and cooperation to manage invasive plants in the region. The CIPC area covers approximately 60,000 km 2 including Vancouver Island, mainland coast and Gulf Islands; and consists of eight regional districts, 34 municipalities, 15 Gulf Islands, and 57 First Nations.

  • Trails As Facilitators for Collaboration Among Stakeholders
    sustainability Article Negotiating Improved Multifunctional Landscape Use: Trails as Facilitators for Collaboration Among Stakeholders Kristin Godtman Kling 1,* , Annika Dahlberg 2 and Sandra Wall-Reinius 1 1 Department of Economics, Geography, Law and Tourism, Mid-Sweden University, Kunskapens väg 1, S-831 25 Östersund, Sweden 2 Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, S-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +4610-142-7851 Received: 15 May 2019; Accepted: 24 June 2019; Published: 26 June 2019 Abstract: Trails are significant features in landscapes, and many ancient pathways have developed into routes of great importance for recreation and tourism in contemporary societies. Nevertheless, international research on recreational trails has hitherto mainly focused on managerial and environmental aspects of trails and less on trails from a social science perspective, such as conflict management. This study explores the role of recreational trails as a potential tool for managing conflicts in a multifunctional landscape. The findings originate from a case study of the southern Jämtland mountain region in Sweden, an area where land-use conflicts exist and where tourism is a major concern. The study examines the recreational trail as an applied example where actors in the mountain landscape “negotiate” and collaborate. through the recreational trail, dialogue and discussions are made possible among stakeholders. Findings show that trails can function as facilitators for communication and can thus enhance the possibilities of building trust and promoting collaboration between actors. This research contributes to the existing literature on handling multiple land-use interests and adds to previous knowledge by taking on a rather new approach, where the recreational trail becomes a facilitator for communication.
