Engagement summary
BC Parks and Lheidli T’enneh First Nation are developing a management plan for Ancient Forest / Chun T’oh Whudujut and Slim Creek Parks. We are inviting the public to learn more about the importance of these parks, the management planning process, and how to provide feedback on the draft management plan.
Ancient Forest / Chun T’oh Whudujut Park and Protected Area and Slim Creek Park (the parks) lie solely within the territory of the Lheidli T’enneh Nation (Lheidli T’enneh). The parks are located along the upper reaches of the Fraser River 115 km east of Prince George, and 95 km west of McBride, on Highway 16. The parks extend to the north-northeast from the height of land on Driscoll Ridge down to the Fraser River.
BC Parks is seeking feedback on a draft management plan for Ancient Forest / Chun T’oh Whudujut and Slim Creek Parks. Public input will be considered on many topics related to the management of Ancient Forest / Chun T’oh Whudujut and Slim Creek Parks, including:
- Opportunities to expand accessibility
- Determining appropriate recreational activities in relation to conservation values (hiking trails, wilderness camping, etc.)
- Type of commercial use that could be considered in the parks (expanding tourism)
- Possible future development (cultural area)
- Zoning map
Due to the overarching Park Act and BC Parks policies, some aspects of the plan will be out of scope for changes, including:
- Park boundaries
- Existing Ancient Forest / Chun T’oh Whudujut boardwalk
- Activities related to BC Park policies and legislation (for example, some activities described in the allowable use table will be non-negotiable, such as drone-use needing to be authorized in advance)
For more information on this engagement opportunity and the management planning process, as well as how to participate, visit the BC Parks webpage.
