Background:
​
“The Eastern Slopes of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains covers an area of approximately 90 000 square kilometres of mainly forest-covered mountains and foothills. The region possesses a great wealth of renewable and non-renewable resources – water, scenery, timber, forage, wildlife, fisheries and mineral resources – the majority of which lie upon or beneath public lands. Demands for use of these resources have increased at a rapid rate over recent years, making it more evident that the resource base of the Eastern Slopes is not unlimited. Growing pressures for resources and land in the area have led to conflicts in land allocation and to a rising concern for the protection of environmental quality and the management of this extremely important watershed region.”

A Policy for Resource Management of the Eastern Slopes (Government of Alberta, 1977 and revised in 1984) at page 1
These opening words of the 1977 Eastern Slopes Policy captured the essential message of public concern delivered in hearings to policymakers and planners in the mid-1970s concerning land-use management along the Eastern Slopes of the Alberta Rocky Mountains. The message was received, but not implemented. Fifty years have passed, and the Eastern Slopes remain a largely unprotected landscape.​
