Introduction Purpose of the MDS Management direction statements (MDS) provide strategic management direction for protected areas that do not have an approved management plan. Management direction statements also describe protected area values, management issues and concerns; a management strategy focused on immediate priority objectives and strategies; and, direction from other planning processes. While strategies may
CARP LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK AND PROTECTED AREA and MACKINNON ESKER ECOLOGICAL RESERVE Purpose Statement and Zoning Plan Carp Lake Park is 38,612 ha in area and represents the undulating, glaciated landscape of the Nechako Lowlands Ecosection. The park is 32 km west of Highway 97 and 141 km north of Prince George. The park includes
Special Feature: Very good example of symmetrical, vertical columnar basalt capped with fractured basalt. Notes suggest best example in B.C. Unique biogeoclimatic relationship involves a small fern found in rocky crevices which has adapted from the cool, moist shady environment to an open, dry, windy and hostile environment. A small, clear, shallow lake with an
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To preserve three cold-water mineral springs, associated landforms, and vegetation, on the Kawdy Plateau Physical: This reserve, the only protected area located in the BC portion of the Yukon River basin, features three cold-water mineral springs, a rather unique phenomenon in northern British Columbia. Of the three springs, one is most conspicuous, having
In February 1999 the hydrographic survey boat from The Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, B.C. did an acoustical bathymetry program which mapped the seafloor around Race Rocks to a depth of 100 meters. The project was under the direction of James Galloway. This project will eventually involve two other components as well, grab samples
