Summer Recreation Access Management Plan
The Bulkley Valley Community Resources Board (CRB) held a public meeting last night, at the NorthWest Community College to discuss the summer Recreation Access Management Plan (RAMP). One thing is for sure the residents of the Bulkley Valley are a passionate bunch when it comes to recreation. This is a good thing, a common denominator, that brings different perspectives to the discussion of land use. We have a responsibility as residents of this valley, new and old, to manage and respect the land for the purpose of sustaining it's use for future generations. All of us. The presentation concentrated on the organization and process of RAMP, without much focus on particular areas of concerns.
With the advent of question time, it was evident that a particular user group of motorized vehicles was not in favour of the RAMP process. Individuals spoke up in opposition to the existence of this non-elected group of people making decisions on thier behalf. Still others spoke in opposition to the RAMP process because it was not useful during the developement of the Hankin Evelyn Recreation Area, leaving the residents surrounding the recreation area, in the dark. But isn't the purpose of the RAMP to facilitate discussion of these issues? Could it be argued that if the RAMP did in fact exist during the inception of the Hankin Evelyn project, that the concerns of particular people and user groups would have been heard, presumably with established open lines of communication between the public, the RAMP/CRB and the Government?
This sounds like an opportunity for the RAMP and the motorized vehicle users to build trust.

Or hike in, meeting Brent at 9:30 at the Quick Chalet.
When the flotilla arrives at the new Bulkley River Recreation Site, festivities will begin: a Wet'suwet'en welcome; announcement of the winners of the Children's River Art Contest; draw prizes; live music (String Licorice and Twisted Strings) and a complimentary salmon bar-b-que lunch and hot beverage, donated by SkeenaWild and Glacier Toyota.
Then it's back in the rafts or canoes for paddlers, or back to the trails for hikers. Paddlers can pull out at the Quick Bridge, or continue further downstream.
Wear warm clothing--and we'll celebrate the river, come rain or shine.

Kager Lake Recreation Site |

Wow! What a great site...Lakeside camping, with sites spread out around the lake, connected by a 3 km trail, with a brand new huge cedar deck! Just minutes from Burns Lake this site is easily accessible, with a parking lot, and day-use area set up from the dock. If you are into riding, there is a bike park less than a kilometer from the parking lot. A less then 20minute drive up Boer Mtn Road from the lot will take you to the top, leaving you with a choice between 5 great downhill trails taking you back to the parking lot (which you can then follow through to your site!) or one other to Star Lake. A great family destination! Check out the map I picked up from the Info center. The Rec Site Parking is the parking symbol on Kager Lake, and the campsites are located all along the green trail surrounding the lake.
