Omineca Region Environmental Stewardship Division
|
The Omineca Region encompasses a vast area of British Columbia
representing a diverse array of landscapes, from the flat pine
stands of the Interior Plateau to the towering peaks of the central
Rocky Mountain range. This diverse set of habitats support such
wildlife as grizzly bear, caribou, moose, bull trout and white
sturgeon. The Region includes 81 Protected Areas, totaling 1.1
million hectares, which protects natural landscapes, special
natural and cultural features, and provides a range of front
and backcountry recreational opportunities for residents and
international visitors to British Columbia. The Region is known
for its world class hunting, supporting some of the highest recreational
moose harvests of any region in the province. Recreational fishing
includes easy access to a variety of stocked lakes, to remote
fly-in destinations where trophy sized fish abound. Predominant
industries include the forestry, mining, and hydroelectric sectors.
Staff at the Omineca regional office work to ensure that these
activities are in balance with recreation and conservation objectives
set by the Province, in accordance with the Ministry's Business Plan.
