Right next to the world-renowned resort municipality of Whistler is a 500,000 hectare stretch of wild country that rivals any of the Rocky Mountain parks in scenery, grandeur and wildlife, yet it remains largely unprotected and subject to on-going heavy damage by industrial activities - primarily clearcut logging. In 1998 Western Canada Wilderness Committee, Canada's largest membership-based conservation organization, proposed that this wild area, called the Stoltmann Wilderness, become a National Park. This paper lays out our proposal in detail including maps and photos.
