Roosevelt elk are the second-priority species on Vancouver Island i n terms
of management effort. The increasing demand for consumptive use is evident
since the initiation of the limited entry hunting system i n 1977, with
applications far exceeding available permits. The objective of increasing elk
populations to help satisfy demand has been identified i n provincial and
regional species management plans. The potential for increasing the elk
population on Vancouver Island is dependent primarily on the integration of
habitat requirements with intensive forest management, as the majority of
Vancouver Island is committed to fiber production. Management-oriented
research on elk ecology and intensive forestry interactions is thus required
to provide the biological information necessary for effective resource
integration.
Silvicultural practices i n second growth or regenerating forests on
Vancouver Island are proceeding without consideration of wildlife
requirements. A problem analysis initiated by the British Columbia Ministry
of Forests (MOF) (Ellis 1980) examined the major wildlife-forestry
interactions and presented a number o f wildlife research needs which might
help solve wildlife-forestry conflicts. General elk research needs were
examined i n the analysis. Since completion of the MOF problem analysis,
intensive silviculture has proceeded while elk research and management needs
have not been addressed.
