Fort Nelson Land and Resource Management Plan
In October 1997, the government of British Columbia approved the Fort Nelson Land and
Resource Management Plan (LRMP). This LRMP reflects the full consensus management direction
on all aspects of land and resource management within a 98 000 square kilometre area, built
through participation by the public, local industry and government resource agencies. This Plan
results in no anticipated job losses, stability for all resourcebased
industries such as tourism, oil
and gas, and timber; seven new large protected areas; a planning framework to provide cooperative
and coordinated
planning and management in the MuskwaKechika
Management Area;
and an improved outlook for recreational activities and wildlife.
