Cougar Canyon ER Photo gallery, October 2012
On October 11, 2010, Ecological Reserve wardens Roseanne Van Ee and Dennis Seymour took Garry Fletcher, Friends of Ecological Reserves Board member and Niran Lella out to Kalamalka lake Provincial Park to view the Cougar Canyon Reserve from the cliffs at the east end. From the area used as a popular local rock-climbing cliff, we were able to look westward down the valley into the Ecological reserve.
The reserve is isolated down in the valley but there is concern that the increase of trail and motor bike paths and the ever-increasing use of ATVs in off road areas could lead to more open access and damage to the values of the reserve.
