ORIGINAL PURPOSE To conserve undisturbed ponderosa pine-grassland vegetation. The following is from the BC Parks report. Physical: The reserve is in the bottom of the deeply incised the river cuts westward through the north end of the Cascade Range to join the Fraser. It consists of gently sloping benchlands which give way to steep, gullied
ORIGINAL PURPOSE: To protect nesting seabirds, raptors and marine environments The land area, less than 4% in total, is comprised of four significant islands and many associated islets and reefs, located in four groups. These are the outermost islands of the central mainland coast, located within an area of low relief along the eastern edge
Ecological Reserve 15, Saturna Island, Terrestrial Ecosystem Inventory, by Harvey Janszen, 2001 For access to the complete report please click on this link to the file ER15TE. In the summer of 1996 the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks undertook a project to inventory the untenured Crown land of Saturna Island for a proposed woodlot license
This report by Rosamund Pojar covers observations between 1986 and 2001
Introduction : By Pam Janszen This research project began in August of 1997 when I was granted permission to do fungal inventory and research work in Winter Cove Provincial Park and Ecological Reserve # 15, both on Saturna Island. Since that time I have made 87 trips into the Reserve and 61 trips to the

This map is derived from the Management Direction Statement of BC Parks Introduction Purpose for the MDS The purpose of this management direction statement (MDS) is to provide management direction for the Liumchen Ecological Reserve. As an important component of the overall protected area system of the Lower Mainland (Figure 1), the upper Liumchen Creek
This report by terra Environmental Consultants is an Environmental Impact study of the siting of a proposed Gas Pipeline that could have gone through the ecological reserve. See the full PDF: Sattelite Channel ER Tera Environmental Consultants 2000 EIA
Physical: Mount Hadow and adjacent serrate peaks of the Slocan Ranges mark the upper- elevational southwest boundary of the reserve and provide a spectacular backdrop. Below the vertical headwalls of this peak is a prominent cirque basin containing an alpine glacier which feeds directly into a subalpine lake, the source of Lew Creek. Reserve boundaries
Physical: The reserve lies in a shallow valley on the Interior Plateau. Lands around its northern end are very flat, while low hills rising to 1310 m flank the southern portion. Narcosli Lake, about 325 ha in area and 5 km long, is very shallow and divided by a narrows into two basins of approximately

Purpose Statement Primary Role: The primary role of Byers/Conroy/Harvey/Sinnett Islands Ecological Reserve is to protect terrestrial and marine habitats and prevent the disturbance of nesting seabirds and raptors: The only know occurrence of peregrine falcons nesting in trees. Only significant breeding site of tufted puffins along the mainland coast. Seal pupping areas. Extensive kelp reefs
ORIGINAL PURPOSE Protection of calcicolous vegetation, hydrology and geology as well as ecosystems representative of the Interior Douglas-fir zone Physical: The reserve lies mostly on the west-facing slope of a north-south trending ridge, about 300 m east of Columbia Lake and 150 m higher in elevation. Slope exposure is mostly to the west and southwest
Original Purpose: To conserve the only remaining unaltered and uncommitted lower Fraser River floodplain islands Current Purpose: To preserve an unaltered cluster of mid river islands in the Fraser River Lowlands as an example of the accretion and erosion processes in this gravel reach of the Fraser and as an example of the stages of
Physical: The reserve is near theis near the southern end of the Clrear Range which occupies the “V” between the Thompson and Fraser rivers, north of Lytton. The reserve has two major landforms, a rolling summit above the 1650 m elevation in the north, and steep valley slopes in the south. The predominant aspect is
Physical: The reserve is part of a 2.5 km wide floodplain occurring at the confluence of Nimpkish River and Sebalhall, Yookwa and Kiyu creeks. Surrounding mountains rise to between 1000 and 1500 m above sea level. Soils in the reserve are alluvial Regosols with a loamy sand topsoil up to 1 metre thick overlying fast-draining
Physical: The reserve is on the steep, rugged, southeast slope of Mount Tuam, facing Satellite Channel. These slopes consist of a series of rounded knolls separated by draws. Exposed bedrock is present on the tops of some knolls and along the shoreline, and soils are generally thin. About 1 km of rocky shoreline is included
