REACHING CONSENSUS
It was the culmination of a decade of effort and argument and determined goodwill, for the plan marked an im- portant threshold of consensus.

PULLING TOGETHER
Land use issues in northeast BC were heating up in the early 1990s. Interest in oil, gas, timber and mineral re- sources was building rapidly, and recreational use was increasing. I began to feel that the threats to the wilderness shown on the Inventory of Undeveloped Watersheds maps could no longer be ignored. I began to pull together like-minded northerners: First Nations, guides, hunters, trappers, naturalists and conserv- ationists.
