    Ecosystem Management

    Monday, September 28, 2009

    - Monitor the water quality of Island Lake to ensure a healthy habitat for aquatic vegetation and wildlife, ranging from moose to cutthroat trout and bald eagles.
    - Cut alder and other shrubs in order to glade runs for skiing in a mosaic pattern that mimics natural wildfire, which provides a variety of age classed forests with a broad range of forage plants for wildlife.
    - Work with BC Parks to provide a buffer zone for wildlife that utilize Mount Fernie Provincial Park.
    - Be aware of the Provincial regulations and legislation for operations and set a high standard with respect to compliance.
    - Facilitate the work of scientists in the Elk Valley generally and more specifically in Cedar Valley.
    - Housekeeping cleaning products are certified by Green Seal, Envirodesic, Enviromental Choice and the European Union’s Eco-Label: The Flower, to have minimal impact on indoor air-quality and reduced human and aquatic toxicity. As well, these products have shown excellent biodegradability in aerobic and anaerobic environments.
