It appears that the Seven Peaks Area is not experiencing the conflicts of urbanization as severely as the Southern Interior as a whole, however, there are special conflicts with the Aboriginal people who have blockaded roads leading to the Apex Mountain Resort over the past several winters. Also, the issues
associated with urbanization could change with the completion of Apex Mountain Resorts Master Plan which would more than double the size of the existing
facility. The recreational pressures exerted by people from out side of the area are likely to increase rather than decrease in the future. The conflicts between
wildlife and agriculture are also not likely to decrease in the future as both land uses compete for valley bottoms and alpine grassland. There is potential for water use and water quality issues to be exacerbated in the future. The fishery resource, although closely managed, is stressed through loss of habitat and declining populations.
