There are several types of closures to manage
recreation activities.
Recreation closures put in place under the Forest
and Range Practices Act or Forest Recreation Regulation. Most of these
closures are put in place to help prevent damage to trails and the fragile
alpine environment.
Wildlife act closures are put in place to protect
wildlife. The local closures are used to protect Caribou in the winter.
Restrictions under the Golden Backcountry Recreation
Access Plan represent a negotiated agreement by a large number of users and
stake holders who are very familiar with the area. The end product of
their efforts is a plan approved by government that addresses access is such away that all recreation
experiences are maintained and balanced. |
