Description

The Livingstone-Porcupine Hills Recreation Management Plan addresses the priorities for outdoor recreation expressed in the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP). The SSRP prioritized planning for the Livingstone-Porcupine Hills areas as a region of high recreational use. It contains the headwaters of the Oldman River, supports biodiversity values, requires the management of wildlife risk and provides traditional First Nations land uses. The Government of Alberta aims to provide a diversity of outdoor recreation opportunities while recognizing that recreation occurs within a multiple use landscape with complex environmental, economic and social values.

This process is intended to complement the coarse filter or “top down” approach of Alberta’s Special Places program which attempts to capture environmental diversity by protecting broad landscapes or Level 1 Natural History Themes. The Special Features Report takes the opposite, or “bottom up”, approach to identify individual plant or animal species and communities, or landforms, that are limited in distribution or size, or are truly unique examples of Alberta’s natural diversity. It does not address species such as grizzly bears, wolves or caribou, which are dealt with in separate broader-based management plans. Second, the Report also provides a framework and criteria for evaluating special features and determining whether to recommend that they be considered for inclusion into the provincial system of protected areas.
