	Glacier National Park (US) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The park is bordered on the north by Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, and the Flathead Provincial Forest and Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park in British Columbia.
		The west and northwest are dominated by spruce and fir and the southwest by redcedar and hemlock; the areas east of the Continental Divide are a combination of mixed pine, spruce, fir and prairie zones.
		Forest fires were viewed for many decades as a threat to protected areas such as forests and parks.

	Forest Practices Branch \| Forest Health \| Introduction
		Forest Health, is responsible for the detection and quantification of forest health problems, and, where necessary, the prescription and implementation of protective or suppressive treatments to anticipate and prevent insect, disease and mammal damage to reforested areas and old growth stands.
		Forest Health evolved from a concern over catastrophic damage caused by insects such as western spruce budworm and mountain pine beetle, and by root diseases and dwarf mistletoes.
		Forest Health activities are audited to confirm that treatments are effective, that new forests have been successfully established and are growing well, and that treated areas are responding appropriately.

	Hansard -- Tuesday, May 1, 1984 -- Afternoon Sitting
		Before I create the impression that forest and range management equate solely with funding for planting trees, I should stress that Ministry of Forests activities are directed to a wide range of objectives, all aimed at furthering the public interest in these resources.
		The forest land base has, for the most part, been secured by adding a further 40 million hectares of land to the new provincial forests - as a matter of fact, only recently we have expanded some of the existing provincial forest.
		When the Forest Act and the Ministry of Forests Act came down in 1978, and when the forest and range resource analyses came down in 1980, 1981 and up to this year, and when the five-year programs initially came down, there was a clear indication that the minister was concerned about forests.

	Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park
		There is forest road access to the western edge of the park in BC, but many visitors prefer to enter by trail from Waterton Lakes National Park over the Continental Divide through Akamina Pass from the east.
		Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park is an ecologically significant protected area, containing important habitat for a variety of plants and animals, some of which are rare and unusual.
		The lakes of Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park, Forum and Wall, are home to a variety of life forms as well, including large and highly valued cutthroat trout.

	Flathead Coalition Home Page
		The coalition was re-energized in 2004 in response to proposals for open-pit coal mining and coalbed methane extraction in the Canadian headwaters area of the Flathead River.
		The provincial government declared it intends to aggressively develop coalbed methane (CBM) in the headwaters of the North Fork Flathead, Kootenai and Elk Rivers despite its temporary suspension of coal mining in the Flathead Coalfield.
		The North Fork of the Flathead River is one of the most protected watersheds in the U.S. The river boasts "Wild and Scenic River" protection, forms the western boundary of Glacier National Park, and provides habitat for the greatest biodiversity of aquatic insects in the lower 48 states.

		Several lawsuit backers told the Flathead commissioners that it is entirely proper for them to represent the wishes of county residents who have long been frustrated with road closures, declining timber harvests and other trends on the Flathead Forest.
		Hammer put the Flathead forest on notice last month that he intends to sue over road management provisions in a post-fire plan for national forest lands that were burned over by the 2001 Moose fire.
		Forest officials say pulling the culverts will hinder snowmobiling use of the route which was approved in the settlement with the Montana Wilderness Association and is proposed in the pending winter recreation forest plan amendment.

		Flathead Forest Supervisor Cathy Barbouletos urged the group to take advantage of the opportunity to find common ground on post-fire planning wherever possible.
		The forest was criticized for developing a process that limits public involvement, but Barbouletos and her staff were faced with the challenge of garnering meaningful public input at the start of the planning process, and doing so in an expeditious manner.
		Barbouletos maintains that the Flathead Forest staff will develop portions of a management proposal that the working group chooses to avoid or is unable to agree on.

		Species composition of forests changes over time, but this ecological succession is not modelled in the projection.
		The Proxy inventory's land/forest cover and forest age are from BTM, and predominant species are based on species found in the TSA and TFL inventories for like combinations of forest age and ecosystem (BEC subzone/variant).g2.
		Forest cover is from the seamless forest cover inventory, 2000, for the whole province, which combined four spatial databases to provide the best data available in government in early 2001: N3.

		Jasper National Park spans 10,878 square kilometers (4,200 miles) of broad valleys, rugged mountains, glaciers, forests, alpine meadows and wild rivers along the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
		During the winter, snowshoers and cross-country skiers revel in the white-blanketed tranquility of meadows and forests.
		The landscape of the park varies from the rugged cliffs and sheltered inlets of the coastal region to the rolling forested hills, bogs and ponds of the inland.

	Ministry of Environment - Akamina - Kishinena
		Akamina Kishinena Provincial Park is located in the southeast corner of the province.
		The trails and passes of the Akamina-Kishinena used today to cross the axis of the continent, were established and used for many years by the early people’s and wildlife travelling between the Flathead Basin and the abundant Great Plains.
		Fires in the backcountry areas must be kept small, contained and a source of water to extinguish the fire must be readily available.

	Castle Wilderness - Ecosystem in Decline
		In southwestern Alberta, annual losses (known number of bears killed in or removed from the area) threaten the long-term viability of both grizzly and fl bear populations.
		The reduction of bull trout in the lower stream reaches will effectively isolate the remaining headwater populations and could lead to their extinction.
		The bull trout is listed as “threatened” in Alberta, meaning that local populations of this species could easily disappear from provincial rivers and streams.

	Missoulian - Canadian, Alaskan smoke drifts to Flathead
		KALISPELL - The Flathead Valley awoke to an orange sunrise Tuesday, eerily reminiscent of last summer's wildfire season and a reminder that the region's forests are again tinder dry.
		The haze, thin and high over the Flathead and not noticeable at ground level, has been increasing in recent days as lightning storms have increased fire activity, particularly in British Columbia.
		Currently, fire danger is listed as "high" throughout much of the Flathead Valley, and in the higher reaches of the Flathead National Forest the danger is categorized as "moderate," tending toward "high." Similar listings are in effect for most of the region's forests.

		The north fork of the Flathead River forms the western boundary of the park while its middle fork forms part of the southern boundary.
		Waterton Lakes National Park, Akamina-Kishinena Provincial Park, and the Flathead Provincial Forest in Canada are all found along the northern boundary of the park.
		Above the forested valleys and mountain slopes, alpine tundra conditions prevail where grasses and small plants work hard to exist in a region that enjoys as little as three months without snow cover.

	Hansard -- Monday, July 16, 1979 -- Afternoon Sitting
		The problem is that the local volunteer firemen must give up their time and energy, as well as incurring the costs of car upkeep and gasoline and everything else, in order to drive all over the place and inspect the various requests for burning permits on private land.
		Management of the forest land there, because it has tree-farm taxation classification, requires the approval of the Ministry of Forests only insofar as compatibility with the sustained-yield concept is concerned - other than that, it's out of my hands.
		We continue to argue, as did the Provincial Secretary once upon a time, that combining housing and municipal affairs is an appropriate instrument for guaranteeing that the housing requirements of the people of British Columbia are well understood by municipal government.

	Logging Threatens Flathead River Drainage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Crestbrook Forest Industries has proposed cutblocks in the Flathead River drainage of southeastern B.C. on the border of Akamina-Kishinena Provincial park, which will compromise the international peace park complex which includes Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta.
		Concerns from Glacier National Park and U.S. environmental groups regarding the proposed logging are warranted as the Flathead provides the single most important carnivore movement corridor between the Canadian and U.S. Rockies.
		The Flathead is also a critical wolf corridor and supports the densest non-coastal population of grizzlies in North America, which act as a source population for Montana and Alberta.
