It is representative of the broad valley, glacial-fed, braided stream complex that remains in a natural condition within the Bridge River system. This ecosystem type of large Douglas-fir and valley bottom riparian conditions is rare in the area.<\/p>\n<p>This park represents a benchmark for understanding and research of natural processes and is and provides an opportunity to compare with similar ecosystems that have been modified by human disturbance.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Healthy\u00a0 wildlife\u00a0 populations\u00a0 continue\u00a0 to\u00a0 thrive\u00a0 in\u00a0 and\u00a0 around\u00a0 Bridge\u00a0 River Delta\u00a0 Park,\u00a0 using\u00a0 it\u00a0 as\u00a0 a\u00a0 core\u00a0 area\u00a0 where\u00a0 wildlife\u00a0 are\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 largely\u00a0 undisturbed.\u00a0 The park\u00a0 continues\u00a0 as\u00a0 an \u00a0important\u00a0 spring\u00a0 feeding\u00a0 area\u00a0 and\u00a0 habitat\u00a0 connection for\u00a0 Grizzly\u00a0 Bear\u00a0 that\u00a0 draws\u00a0 bears\u00a0 from\u00a0 the\u00a0 surrounding\u00a0 landscape.\u00a0 The\u00a0 section of\u00a0 the\u00a0 Bridge\u00a0 River\u00a0 that\u00a0 flows\u00a0 within\u00a0 the\u00a0 park\u00a0 remains\u00a0 an\u00a0 unimpaired\u00a0 example of a braided river system with associated riparian values.<br \/>~\u00a0Park Management Vision<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bridge River Delta Park has a natural biodiversity that is being protected and conserved through many strategies. Strategies were reviewed by the open public and the First Nations to gain effect and success in their implementations. The first objective is to increase Grizzly Bear habitat, conserve and protect the population and identify and protect their migratory routes. This will be done by collaborating with neighbouring land managers and various agencies to limit disturbances in the park. This relates to the next objective that is to limit the impact of recreational activities in the park, have only day time visitors , and deny access to motorized vehicles. Therefore, the park is supporting\u00a0 the Wildlife Act Motor Vehicle even in the surrounding areas of the park. The other objective is to secure the park for wildlife and to maintain a high level of protection in order to maintain the natural diversity of the park. This will be implemented by monitoring recreational activities, wildlife population and habitat in order to identify the requirements needed to keep a high maintenance level. Moreover, there will be a public awareness program so that when upon entering the park the public can respect it and continue enjoying a natural wilderness setting. Finally, each of those strategies will be evaluated and prioritized to implement a program on a first-need basis.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a
