Mule Deer Winter Range Strategy

Introduction

The CCLUP Management Strategy for Mule Deer Winter Ranges in the Cariboo-Chilcotin is designed to guide forest harvest planning to restore and maintain mule deer winter range habitat suitability. It is the culmination of the sustained research and planning efforts of many people over the past 25 years. The Strategy provides practical direction for planning and practices at both the landscape and stand levels to integrate mule deer habitat values with industrial timber development.

The Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Plan Integration Report mandated the creation of the Cariboo Regional Mule Deer Winter Range Committee to develop mule deer winter range plans and objectives. The committee is made up of resource management experts from the Ministry of Forests and Range, the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, and the Ministry of Environment.

In 2008, the BC Government committed to improving consultation and respectful engagement with First Nations.   Benefits of this work—to government, First Nations, proponents, and the public—include enhancing meaningful government-to-government relations with First Nations, creating a positive investment climate by providing certainty and predictability, and reducing the heavy consultation workload for all parties.

The First Nations Initiatives Division (FNID), a division of the Integrated Land Management Bureau, is leading a shift in business to the “Virtual integration” of aboriginal relations.  Virtual Integration is a government initiative to implement common, policies, procedures and tools across all the natural resource agencies.  FNID works with all Natural Resource Agencies to deliver Virtual Integration through two main business lines:

  1. Coordinating interagency consultation with First Nations, comprising i) an aligned policy framework, ii) regional economic development priority setting, including shared business planning and resource sharing, and iii) coordinating multi-authorization project consultation. 
  2. Negotiating strategic agreements with First Nations that will improve the Province’s investment climate, reduce the consultation volume for all parties, create enduring forums for government-to-government engagement and achieve the goals of the Transformative Change Accord.
