The Lake Country SEI was initiated in 2004 to provide information on rare and fragile ecosystems for sustainable land use and development planning. Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (TEM) provides the base to develop SEI and WHA theme maps. The project covers private land, provincial parks, regional parks and provincial crown land within the central Okanagan Valley of south-central British Columbia.

This report includes Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping with SEI and WHA themes for the District of Lakes Country in the central Okanagan valley. The area covers 12,330 ha. The District of Lake Country includes the ridge between Okanagan Lake and the valley containing Kalamalka and Wood Lakes, Winfield, and the west-facing slopes above Winfield and Wood Lake. This area lies within the Thompson Plateau, a subdivision of the Interior Plateau Physiographic Region, in the Southern Interior Ecoprovince and includes the PPxh1, IDFxh1, IDFmw1 and MSdm1 Biogeoclimatic subzones. Reporting is in three volumes: TEM report includes Terrestrial Ecosystem, Terrain, Terrain Stability, and Surface Erosion Mapping and Expanded Legend. WHA report includes habitat summaries and species models for eleven wildlife species at risk in BC. SEI report provides information to help conserve and protect remaining sensitive and important ecosystems.
