Park
Info:
While the Upper Raush (5,582
ha) and Lower Raush (1,279 ha) are two distinctly separate
protected areas, their adjacency and similarity warrant we
document them as one unit.
Created through the efforts of the Robson Valley Land and
Resource Management Plan and the Protected Areas Strategy,
these protected areas protect portions of an undeveloped,
relatively pristine watershed. Located on the south west side
of the Fraser River, just south of McBride, these protected
areas have no road access or facilities of any kind. As part
of the Northern Columbia Mountains Ecosection, these protected
areas contain four biogeoclimatic subzones. Dominating the
valley floor is Sub-boreal Spruce (SBSdh) while slightly upslope
a rare variant of Interior Cedar Hemlock (ICHmm) exists. Higher
yet, one finds Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSFmm1) melding
into Alpine Tundra (AT).
There is no road access to either of these protected areas.
There is an old road on the east side of the Raush River,
on private land, and permission from the owner must be obtained.
The Lower Raush protects excellent riparian wildlife habitat,
while the Upper Raush protects a variety of biogeoclimatic
subzones.
