CROSSING THE DIVIDE: Discovering a Wilderness Ethic in Canada's Northern Rockies
In Crossing The Divide, Wayne Sawchuk takes us from his early days as a logger and trapper to his role in creating the largest protected wilderness area in the Rocky Mountains. Sawchuk grew up near Chetwynd in the province's northeast, working with his father in resource industries. Then in 1985, he helped his uncle build a trapper's cabin at Mayfield Lake in the Northern Rockies and eventually bought the trapline. Through the 1990s he began taking extended horse packing trips into the area while helping shape the future of the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area, 6.5 million hectares of land where intact ecosystems co-exist with carefully regulated resource extraction.
"It is," says Sawchuk, "an incredible experiment where we can maintain a sustainable economy and keep the wild heart of Canada's Northern Rockies beating strong forever."
