Illecillewaet River Watershed Atlas $2,919

The Illecillewaet River is a major tributary that enters the Columbia River immediately downstream of Revelstoke. The river is impacted by a major transportation corridor (the Trans-Canada Highway and CPR mainline), past mining and past and present-day forest harvesting. The goal of this project is to ensure integrated natural and cultural resource information of the Illecillewaet River watershed is widely available and easily accessible to aid in future planning, education and management. The overall objectives of this project are:
1. To produce a resource atlas to summarise and integrate existing physical, biological and cultural information (both spatial and temporal) in the Illecillewaet River watershed; and
2. To identify data gaps and research priorities to be used in the preparation of a Terms of Reference for a comprehensive assessment of the Illecillewaet River.

During FY99/2000, initial stages of the Resource Atlas will be produced using existing information and made available on Columbia Mountains Institute and partner websites.
