Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (1:20,000 scale) with wildlife capability and suitability interpretations was done for Sooke Hills Wilderness and Mount Wells Regional Parks. The study area is located south-west of Finlayson Arm in the Saanich Inlet and north of Sooke Basin and covers approximately 4,200 ha. Information provided describes the study area, methods, results and management recommendations for wildlife, terrain, sensitive ecosystems, wetlands, forests and roads and access routes.

The TEM component of this project was completed in accordance with the 1998 Standard for Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping in B.C. and the 2000 Standard for Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping Digital Data Capture. Wildlife interpretations follow the British Columbia Wildlife Habitat Rating Standards, Version 2 (1999). The project files include a project report, map legend, expanded legend, non-spatial polygon attribute databases and wildlife files. The study area partially covers the following mapsheets: 92B.042, 92B.043, 92B.052 and 92B.053. Sooke Hills Wilderness and Mount Wells Regional Parks are located in what is known as the Nanaimo Lowland Ecosection. Two biogeoclimatic units are recognized within the parks. Just over 97% of the study area is situated within the eastern variant of the Coastal Western Hemlock very dry maritime (CWHxm1) biogeoclimatic (BGC) subzone. The remainder is located in the Coastal Douglas-fir moist maritime (CDFmm) subzone. Wildlife Habitat Ratings were developed for the following species Dryocopus pileatus (Pileated Woodpecker), Ursus americanus (Black Bear), Brachyramphus marmoratus (Marbled Murrelet) and Odocoileus hemionus (Columbian black-tailed deer).
