Wigwam Flats – Lot 3 (The Nature Trust of BC): This 2-hectare (5-acre) property contributes to the natural mosaic of grassland, open forest and closed canopy forest habitats on the adjacent conservation lands owned by The Nature Trust of BC and the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resources Operations and Rural Development. This complex of habitat types provides class one winter habitat for elk and mule deer and is particularly important spring lambing and breeding habitat for blue-listed Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Besides the variable habitat that makes the Wigwam Flats such an important area for wildlife, the natural topography provides excellent escape terrain for bighorn sheep when threatened by natural predators such as cougar and wolves.
