New Wilderness-based Projects at Chilcotin Holidays

There are many new projects going on at the ranch. Check out the following websites and see our growing business ventures that we’ve developed in our unique wilderness setting. Check out Chilcotin Holidays’ website for these additions: Wilderness Tourism Lodge Management; Corporate HR Training; and Christian Retreats.

We’re sharing our employee marketing activities with other wilderness operators in the tourism industry. Being in the fortunate situation of having many prospective guides and staff beating down our door, to gain wilderness work experience, we can recommend prospective employees to other lodges and guest ranches that are looking for staff with similar skills and interests.

Knowing the personal growth many guests, staff, and guide-school students have benefited from while being at Chilcotin Holidays, we’ve created an ESL Wilderness Ranch Program. Foreign students have the opportunity to learn English and practice it in a wilderness ranch setting – with horse riding as a key focus. We think this is much more appealing than studying indoors in downtown Vancouver!

We’ve also established a non-profit society to oversee the resource management issues in our area. The foundation’s mission statement is threefold:
· develop environmental research and training programs in the fields of resource management and environmental stewardship
· distribute literature-based research findings in the fields described above
· promote sustainable-living practices and responsible management among businesses and households
Be sure to check out the Wilderness Stewardship and Training Foundation website for further information on our programs and how you can become involved.

Wilderness stewardship is second nature to us for we’ve been involved in local resource management issues for as long as we’ve operated Chilcotin Holidays. We’ve been involved in all minor and major resource management issues, arising over the last 18 years in the Cariboo Chilcotin region. Our involvement has included participating in the Lillooet Land Resource Mangement Plan (LRMP) over a six-year period, the creation of the South Chilcotin Mountain Park, risk assessment on the River Run Hydro Projects, mountain goat surveys, log-road risk assessments, and deactivation.
With the development of the Wilderness Stewardship and Training Foundation we look forward to overseeing further projects, thus ensuring future generations will be able to continue to experience the five-star wilderness that we now enjoy. And, more importantly, to teach responsible stewardship land-use practices.
