The Raft River Watershed Assessment is one phase of a multi-phase project which is currently being undertaken within the Raft River Watershed. Other phases of this project include a Fish and Fish Habitat Assessment and a Level 1 Road Condition Assessment. All of these assessments are part of the Integrated Restoration Plan. The primary objectives of this phase were to: 1) Assess the condition of the watershed using the Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure (IWAP) and develop constraints or recommendations which will repair existing damage to the watershed and prevent further damage from occurring; 2) Increase the participation of local First Nations in forest and environmental management, 3) Increase the pool of locally available, trained staff for work in the emerging field of watershed planning and assessment. watershed assessment, watershed management, forest harvest |
