Purpose

To show the location of known deer and goat winter range habitats within the Chilliwack River Watershed.

Data source(s)

BC Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management, Business Solutions Branch.

Explanation

The Chilliwack River Watershed supports a rich variety of wildlife, including grizzly bear, bobcat, marbled murrelet, spotted owl, Coastal giant salamander, snowshoe hare, cougar, etc. The watershed also contains important winter habitat for black-tailed deer and mountain goat populations. These Ungulate Winter Ranges (UWR) are being considered for legal establishment, and will require specific forest management planning to protect (see Forestry Constraints Map).

Disclaimer

The maps included in the Chilliwack River Watershed Atlas are not intended to be legal documents and it is important that users understand their limitations.  The data has come from many different sources collected at different times and therefore there are variations in the information provided.  In addition, the spatial accuracy of both resource and cadastral information will vary.  The maps are intended as a general guide that will need to be refined and updated.   Users are encouraged to contact the originator of the data in order to obtain up to date or more detailed mapping if required.
