Current Recreational Access Agreements:

Bulkley TSA May 2006

Integrated Land Management

Introduction

The Smithers area provides a broad spectrum of outdoor recreation opportunities.

Local recreation clubs and interested individuals have been pro-active in

addressing their differing needs, including both motorized and non-motorized

forms of recreation, through the negotiation of many area-specific agreements on

seasonal access. This document provides a tabular summary of agreements on

recreational access in the Bulkley Timber Supply Area (TSA) (and portions of

the Morice TSA in the Telkwa Mountains), and is current to May 2006. This

document is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of trails in the area, but

rather a reflection of the agreements that have been made to date on particular

trails. There are still some unresolved issues and undesignated areas that will be

addressed in the future.

A Recreational Access Management Plan (RAMP) was completed in 1997 for the

Bulkley TSA by a diverse group of local people. It identified seasonal

restrictions on motorized use on some areas of crown land to address emerging

recreational conflicts between motorized and non-motorized users. It established

general principles regarding use, education and monitoring, and also established

principles specific to motorized and non-motorized recreation and related

environmental protection. Portions of the TSA were zoned for seasonal

motorized or non-motorized use, and portions of the TSA were left unresolved.

The RAMP is available at www.for.gov.bc.ca/dss/RAMP/RAMPtoc.htm.

Subsequent to 1997, several agreements have been negotiated among

stakeholders that have successfully resolved access issues in some areas that were

left as “unresolved”, “future process”, or “non-designated” in the RAMP. The

following tables and associated maps summarize negotiated recreational access

management agreements to May 2006, and provide a listing of allowable

recreational activities by area.

There is a general expectation within the community that these agreements will

be respected by all those who enjoy outdoor recreation in this area.

*Please note: The maps provided in this pamphlet are for graphic representation

only, and should not be used for navigational purposes.
