Mountain Caribou Censuses in the North Columbia Mountains  1994  Census Report (McLellan, Flaa & Woods, 1994): An aerial census was conducted in March 1994. Two blocks were searched in the Central Selkirks range: 1) Nakusp, which included coverage of Hamling Lakes (east of Nakusp) north to Beaton, and 2) Silvercup/Duncan, which included coverage of the Silvercup Mountains northeast of Trout Lake. Survey observations have been reassigned to the appropriate blocks based on revised boundaries in 2010. Refer to SPI data for specific results.  wsi_5888_rpt_1994.pdf (1.1 MB)
Caribou censuses in the Kinbasket Lake and Duncan River areas  1995  Census report (Flaa, 1995): Enclosed are the results of caribou censuses for the Kinbasket Lake area in the Golden Forest District and the Duncan River/Lardeau River areas of the Kootenay Lake Forest District. The censuses were flown in a 206 B helicopter with a pilot and three observers. The censuses were 5-6 days after the lastsnowfall. Sightability of animals was probably high as recent monitoring of collared caribou in the censused areas showed them to be at treeline and easily observed. Survey observations have been reassigned to the appropriate blocks based on revised boundaries in 2010. Refer to SPI data for specific results.  wsi_5888_rpt_1995.pdf (1.5 MB)
