Guiding PrinciplesThe following principles reflect both the approach to and desired

outcomes of Koocanusa recreation management efforts:

1. Encourage sustainable recreation use in Koocanusa through improved information and education, and use regulation and enforcement only when education is clearly not effective

2. Respect and safeguard Ktunaxa cultural and archaeological values and resources.3. Reduce recreation impacts on and conflicts with existing tenured activities on Crown

land4. Avoid additional tax burdens on local residents from recreation management

measures, and develop recreation management approaches that are funded, at least in part, by recreation users

5. Build on previous recreation management planning processes and seek collaboration with future planning processes

6. Avoid measures that will result in relocating Koocanusa recreation management issues and conflicts to surrounding areas

7. Engage local residents and stakeholders in a manner that encourages respect for diverse beliefs and values

8. Apply adaptive management approaches based on best available information that support flexible, integrated solutions and wise use of resources

9. Encourage recreation management approaches that support local economic development and provide benefits to local residents, businesses, recreation users and the Province

10. Ensure that the selection, development and maintenance of recreation sites and trails is conducted in accordance with accepted provincial guidelines and best management practices

Vision Crown land recreation use in the Koocanusa area enables residents and visitors

to enjoy safe and sustainable recreation that respects important ecological, cultural and resource values and conserves what is unique, special and

distinctive about the area. Local stakeholders and stewardship groups play a key role in recreation management.
