Nature
& Culture:
- History -
Sustut Provincial Park and Protected Area was designated
by the provincial government in 2001 following recommendations
from the Fort St. James Land and Resource Management
Plan.
- Cultural
Heritage - The park lies within the
asserted traditional territories of the Carrier
Sekani Tribal Council, Gitxsan First Nation
and Tsay Keh Dene Indian Band.
- Conservation -
The Connelly Range and Hogem Ranges of the Omenica Mountains
are protected in this vast wilderness area. The complex
of mature, old-growth and wetland forests provide an
excellent representation of the moist cold Engelmann
Spruce Subalpine Fir biogeoclimatic subzone. Volcanic
features such as fumaroles and basalt cliffs are found
in the area.
- Wildlife - Mountain
goats find high value habitat on the basaltic cliffs
in the protected area, while large tracts of pristine
wilderness provide habitat for caribou, grizzly and black
bear, and stone sheep. Salmon and steelhead are found
within the waters of the Atsitka and Sustut Rivers.
