ABSTR.ACT

This project was ui:1dertaken in January1 1980" a.nd ·,,1as
continued right through until its completion in April, 19Sla
During this time 9 a vast quaritity of information was c
1:through literature, personal contact, and through personal
experience. The ent
summers of 1977 and 1980 wer~ spent
~the field aJ, Cape Scott to familtarize myself with the
park and to col~ect field data. Also during this p~riod, a
tremendous feeling for the needs of the public and the needs
of the park were aquired. It is hoped that the following
wi
provide a compromise between these two factors.

JUJ..l.

IJ\JTR.uDUCTIGN

The following is a development/management proposal
designed to provide Cape Scott Provincial Park with planned.
objectives for its future. At present, there exists no concrete basis from which to i~itiate a development scheme.for
this parka It is the primary objective of this report then,
to make suggestions and recormnenda.tions in hopes of providing
for these objectivesa
Development is a 11 need 11 in Cape Scott Parka Through the
ever increasing visitation to the area, the accompanyrnent of
a variety of problems follow. . These appear in the form of
refuse, site and trail degradation, and the loss of the true
"wilderness exp~rience'' from over use of one specific area.

It is the second~ry objective of this report to minimi~e
thes~ problems.

..LV

CuNCLUSH.)N

Cape Scott Park is a "wilderness" park, it was not.the
intention df this report to change this

st~tus.

Instead; an

effort was ~ade to increase the enjoyment of this beautiful
park by a l;::irger number of people.
To do this, a number of
compromises had to be made; perhaps the largest of these com-_
promises was the proposal for de.velopmerLt at :3an Josef Bay,,
It was

felt~

that to sacrifice this area of the park to main-

tain the.wilderness which remains in the nor~hern section-of
the· park 9 was of great concern o San Josef Bay is much to

heavily utilized to continue to try and economically main=
tain ito

Hopefully this report has proven useful to its readers,
and that it wilJ enhance any efforts in fut,ure development ,
of this and other.parks in the provincial parks' system.
