Ranchers help with park management

The Sheep River and Blue Rock Provincial parks are some of the most remote in K-Country.

Alberta Community Development is looking for input on a draft management plan for the parks.

Cheryl Robb says various groups have already had their say, including ranchers.

"We actually allow grazing in there", she says, "and grazing has been part of the landscape for a hundred years.  We're protecting Alberta's heritage at the same time and the ranching community has been a big part of the draft management plan".

Bluerock Wildland Provincial Park is home to one of the most concentrated cougar populations on the continent.
