Coalition calls for limits on off-road vehicles in Alberta to protect water
by Colette Derworiz, Calgary Herald, January 25 2015
Alberta’s conservation community is calling for strict limits on off-road vehicles on public lands and a total ban on their use in parks and protected areas in the Eastern Slopes of the Canadian Rockies to look after water and wildlife.
The move, which is supported by dozens of scientists and environmental
groups, comes a few months after the NDP government announced the
expansion of an existing wildland provincial park and the addition of a
new provincial park in the Castle.
It shut out logging, mining and future oil and gas surface development, but it still allows for off-highway vehicle use on designated trails.
