Protected areas of the Muskwa-Kechika

We are developing two management plans for parks, protected areas, and ecological reserves in the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (M-KMA). One plan covers backcountry areas, and one covers frontcountry areas. These management plans will fulfill a legislated strategic planning commitment of the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area Act. They will provide updated management direction for the following protected areas:

Backcountry Protected Areas of the Muskwa-Kechika: Strategic Management Plan

Frontcountry Protected Areas of the Muskwa-Kechika: Strategic Management Plan

Schedule

Stage 1: Develop project plan (complete)

An initial public comment period ran from May to September 2020 to collect input on the key values and issues that exist in the protected areas. Using two online surveys, we collected over 1400 submissions, including 1200 for Liard Hot Springs Park alone. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions on how you would like the protected areas to be managed. This valuable information is being used to draft new management direction.

Stage 2: Draft management plan (in progress)

Future opportunities to comment on the draft plan will be posted on Let’s Talk BC Parks.

Stage 3: Public review and comment

Stage 4: Finalize management plan
