Subject: Enhancing the protection of the Castle area -2015-09-09-ST
Importance: High

Dear friends,

Thank you for your continuing interest in Alberta’s regional land-use plans. Your input and feedback regarding the development, consultation and implementation of these plans is extremely valuable and always welcome. These plans are created for the benefit of all Albertans so we can continue to achieve our environmental, economic, and social goals.

Provide your input on enhancing the protection of the Castle area

This past election our government made a commitment to enhance the protection of the Castle area, one of the most biologically diverse areas in the South Saskatchewan Region and part of the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP). The area has experienced significant growth in competing land uses through commercial forestry, grazing, oil and gas development as well as tourism and recreational opportunities. The Castle area is also home to over 200 rare or at-risk species and acts as an essential wildlife corridor along the eastern slopes for mammals such as grizzly bear and cougar.

To honour its commitment of protecting the Castle Special Management Area, the Government of Alberta is moving forward with a plan to amend the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan by expanding the designated Castle Wildland Provincial Park and creating a new Provincial Park, bringing the entire Castle area under Parks’ legislation.

For more information about the planned amendment please visit the Alberta land-use website.

To ensure you have the opportunity to provide your input, the Land Use Secretariat will be consulting with all Albertans. You may provide your input by completing the online survey or submitting your feedback by email or mail before October 5, 2015. Please submit your comments to LUF@gov.ab.ca or to the address below:

Looks like the only thing changing is free camping using pickup trucks. All existing hiking and OHV trails remain unchanged.
