Hydroelectric development on the Bridge River resulted in the inundation and destruction of important wildlife habitats, particularly moose winter range and grizzly and black bear spring habitats. As winter habitat availability and quality is generally thought to be a limiting factor to moose populations, the loss of high value winter habitats in the riparian zone of the Bridge River valley following the impoundment has resulted in a significant loss in the moose population potential.

To address and mitigate the loss of important moose seasonal habitats in the upper Bridge River system,
this evaluation project was undertaken to I) assess current winter range quantity and quality in the area
surrounding the Carpenter and Downton reservoirs, 2) identify potential opportunities for the enhancement of existing habitat and/or the creation of new range in areas in the vicinity of the impoundment, and 3) evaluate the current status of wintering moose populations in the area. Geographic Information System (GIS) work will also be undertaken to estimate the land area of moose winter range lost as a result of the creation of the reservoirs.
