About this conservancy
BC Parks is working with all interested First Nations on the development of a collaborative management framework for the Incomappleux Valley. As the province and Indigenous Nations move forward on the path to reconciliation, new management-planning processes and models may be explored. Public and stakeholder input will remain an important part of any management-planning process for the valley.
Researchers believe the stands of ancient inland rainforests here have been growing undisturbed since the last ice age. The large and undisturbed forest retains enough moisture to create its own microclimate. As a result, it hosts many species rarely found in the interior of B.C., including rare coastal lichens. The valley provides habitat for grizzly bears, wolves, cougars, and wolverines, and contains critical bull trout spawning habitat.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
