Industrial private forest landowners in British Columbia have traditionally viewed their forest lands as a raw material supply for their wood processing facilities. However, they are now experiencing social and political changes which are restricting the way their forests are managed. These changes have enormous implications for large forestry firms, such as Canadian Pacific Forest Products. A portion of their lands, the focus of this study, has been examined to assess the impact of these restrictions on traditional land use. In addition, non-timber values have been examined for their revenue generating potential. A study area was delineated near the community of Sooke, B.C. Fishing, hunting, deer farming and camping were assessed. In order to complete the analysis, the costs in terms of foregone timber values, were calculated under a number of different assumptions. The impact of changes in bare land values on decisions with respect to the non-timber values were also examined. A number of policy changes, both by the landowner and the various levels of government involved, are required to promote forestry with a renewed emphasis on recreation. Initiating these changes is the next stage in the preparation of a recreation management plan for the area under study in this thesis. / Forestry, Faculty of / Graduate

Theory of ecological (biophysical) land classification is presented. The theory of integrated ecological land classification, mapping and analysis is applied to recreational land planning. An approach to recreational site-suitability analysis appropriate for reconnaissance level inventories and analyses of recreation capabilities is presented. Clague Mountain Park, Kitimat, B.C. served as a case study for applying the recreation site-suitability analysis approach developed. Landforms, identified using the Terrain Classification System (Ministry of Environment, 1978), served as the basis upon which selected ecologically-significant parameters were inventoried and analyzed. The parameters used in this analysis included topography, depth to bedrock, frost action, flood hazard, vegetation, climate and various soil characteristics, including moisture regime, texture, stoniness, rockiness, permeability and erosion hazard. The activities considered in this analysis included camping (intensive), hiking (summer), picnicking/day use, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, mountain climbing/mountaineering, toboggan-ning, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. The recreational suitability of the park was summarized in tables and maps. It was found that this site-suitability analysis approach provided an effective means for establishing an area's recreational suitability. It is recommended that the findings of this analysis be used to assist in any future recreation planning and management within the park. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
