Snowmobile Closures Within Mountain Caribou Area
Quoted from the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations website: "Under the Mountain Caribou Recovery Implementation Plan, scientists recommended over one million hectares across the mountain caribou range be closed to motorized winter recreation to facilitate recovery of caribou populations. These closures are now in effect. If you would like to download closures areas to gps click here."
