MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES. The core area contains stands of mature tolerant hardwoods that have never been ploughed and have had little to no selective cutting. Additionally, it contains the main branch of the West River just above the head-of-tide. Virtually all of the land is steeper than 9 % gradient and listed on the steep land inventory. It also contains uncommon elements such as old eastern hemlock and white pine. The site will be managed to promote the development of long-lived tolerant hardwood and mixed wood Acadian forest, and the wildlife associated with these upland and riparian habitats. Site management will allow for active living and education, while recognizing the need for protection of the natural environment. This may include trail development or maintenance for walking, mountain-biking and angling predominantly on existing infrastructure. Given the steepness of terrain and susceptibility to erosion, care will be taken to minimize activities within the riparian zone, 100 metres from the watercourse boundary, as measured on the horizontal axis.

MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES. The core area contains stands of mature tolerant and intolerant hardwoods that have never been ploughed and have had little to no selective cutting. Additionally, it contains the main stem of the West River just above the head-of-tide. Virtually all of the land is steeper than 9 % gradient and listed on the steep land inventory. It also contains uncommon elements such as old eastern hemlock and white pine. The buffer area is a mix of 40 year old, old-field white spruce stands and pasture, either abandoned or in a few instances recently worked. The most recently worked fields on PIDs 218636, 219097 and 219089 have value for grassland breeding birds such as bobolink. The site will be managed to promote the development of long-lived tolerant hardwood and mixed wood Acadian forest, and the wildlife associated with these upland and riparian habitats. Small upland field areas will also be managed to promote grassland breeding bird habitat. Site management will allow for active living and education, while recognizing the need for protection of the natural environment. This may include trail development or maintenance for walking, mountain-biking, and angling predominantly on existing infrastructure. Management may also allow for low impact camping with adequate resources to manage the activity. Given the steepness of terrain and susceptibility to erosion, care will be taken to minimize activities within the riparian zone, 100 m from the watercourse boundary, as measured on the horizontal axis.
