Please be advised that some areas within the Geopark boundary are active management zones to protect our mountain caribou.
The 4 steps to being able to ride in these active management zones are:
1. Have a membership to one of the following clubs: Chetwynd, Tumbler or Mackenzie.
2. Check the web app to see if the zone is open or closed. (Pretty easy to use - click the link and look for the green zones, if the area is red - no go.) This is updated twice a week Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30am https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/.../index.html...#
3. Carry proof of your membership and ID when riding.
4. Report any caribou, predators or non compliance in the Active management zones or closure areas. This can be done via the RAPP line (1-877-952-7277) If there are observations outside of the closure areas (i.e. caribou on the way to the staging area), or just less urgent observations, they can be submitted to spi_mail@gov.bc.ca. That will go direct to the species inventory team.
Downloadable Maps of the closures can be found at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/.../snowmobili.../snowmobile-closures
These maps can be downloaded onto your phone to be used with Google Earth, Gaia GPS, Caltopo or Fatmaps and possibly any other GPS app that users might have.
