Boundary Revision Proposal for Kokanee Glacier Park

The straight line boundaries of Kokanee Glacier Park create some difficulties for park development and management. In many instances the boundaries cut across, or parallel, drainage features. They bisect mining interests, wildlife ranges, and vegetative communities, omit nearby areas of high recreational potential, and do not take into consideration access corridors. Resource preservation and resource extraction have suffered as a result of the illogical boundaries. This boundary proposal attempts to solve some of these resource conflicts through a realization of the social, economic, political and environmental issues relating to Kokanee Glacier Park.
