| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This brief brings to your attention the escalating conflict in the Lambly (Bear) and Powers Creek watersheds between those constructing new recreational vehicle trails and those wishing to protect the natural resources. It is understood that the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts (MOTCA) intends to construct a world-class trail network that can support large race events in these watersheds. If the natural features and existing interests within the watersheds are not respected, we believe MOTCA will not achieve this goal. To be sustainable and world-class, a trail system must be located so as to minimize impact on the natural environment and the other resource uses. This brief is intended to provide MOTCA with recommendations for protection of the existing stakeholder interests and resolution of the issues. sediment, erosion, trail, road, recreation |
