BC Parks Management Planning

The British Columbia protected areas system is guided by planning processes that: establish goals for the overall management of protected areas; and, identify potential lands and waters to be added to the system.

BC Parks participates in interagency planning initiatives focussed on regional land-use planning and marine protected areas planning and management.

Management plans are prepared to guide how protected areas will be managed over the next ten to twenty years. A management plan sets out objectives and actions for conservation, development, interpretation and operation of a protected area. Read more about the management planning process
