Under a Ministry of Environment, Lands & Parks (MOELP) contract through the Watershed Restoration Program (WRP), AIM Ecological Consultants Ltd. and their associates undertook a comprehensive assessment of the Horsefly River Watershed. The project included a Level 1 Watershed Assessment, Sediment Source Inventory and Mapping, Review of Sediment and Water Temperature Monitoring Program, Trend Analysis of Hydrometric Records, and a Riparian, Wetland and Terrestrial assessment. This report addresses the Riparian, Wetland and Terrestrial component, and includes three parts. Part A details the results of the extensive air photo interpretation to assess loss or damage to riparian, wetland and terrestrial habitats as a result of forest harvesting, range use, silviculture and recreation activities. A catalogue of roads, their UTM coordinates and listing of those roads which border riparian and wetland areas, extend into high elevation basins and alpine areas, or cross wildlife winter ranges is included in this section. Part B consists of the Biodiversity Assessment, based on seral stage analysis (GIS) of Ministry of Forests data. Part C is a synthesis of the analyses from Parts A and B, which identifies and recommends potential restoration options, as well as discusses potential conflits or amalgamation with other Watershed Restoration projects. The objectives to this portion of the watershed assessment program were to "evaluate access and loss or damage to riparian, wetland and terrestrial habitats as a result of forest harvesting, range use, silviculture and recreation activities, with particular emphasis on biodiversity. In order to accomplish these objectives, a number of tasks were identified to assess the total area impacted by logging practices, roads and grazing activities which border sensitive wildlife habitats. These tasks, described in the methods section resulted in a cataloging, assessment and ranking of high impact areas.
