The North Okanagan Resource/Habitat Atlas

The North Okanagan Resource/Habitat Atlas

The North Okanagan Resource/Habitat Atlas is a web-based mapping tool that brings together a variety of information about natural and cultural attributes and resources of the North Okanagan region.

Its main purpose is to build capacity within the North Okanagan community through facilitating access to local resource inventory that can be used for local land use planning and stewardship efforts.

The contents of the atlas can assist people in creating a profile of the myriad of ecosystems with which they interact in the North Okanagan (from the macro to the regional), be used in the development of communications and interpretive products and provide the building blocks for rural and urban planning.

Community Nature Oriented Links:

Fintry Provincial Park

Fintry Provincial Park includes 360 hectares of the former Fintry Estate, a heritage site with a colourful history. From the delta area to a forested area made up of ridges and deep slopes, this park offers two dramatically different topographical areas. There is over 2 km of waterfront with surrounding mountains and deep canyons.

Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park

Virtually at the back door of the City of Vernon, this fine example of north Okanagan grassland is dotted with ponderosa pine and groves of Douglas-fir. A variety of animals, bird-life, reptiles and plant-life reside in this mosaic of grassland communities.

North Okanagan Parks and Natural Area Trust

An organization dedicated to preserving the natural areas of the North Okanagan for the enjoyment of present and future generations.

Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program

The Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program (OCCP) is a new initiative that was started in response to the rapid growth and development of the North and Central Okanagan. The OCCP began in May 2006, with many partners coming together to help shape the future of this portion of the Okanagan Valley. The GCC is providing temporary web space for information related to the OCCP while this new and exciting Program takes shape.
