for sustainable resource use in the valley;
- Facilitate thematic resource-use planning to address broader ecosystem values, to collaborate on alternative eco-friendly resource development, to create more local value and benefits;

3. Environmental protection

- Establish ongoing watershed restoration themes around air, water, species and habitat restoration, pollution and recycling;
- Identify indicator species and sites for monitoring ecosystem health as part of Band-based programs involving valley residents;
- Coordinate access management plans in the Deadman River Watershed;
- Establish control watershed and communications/monitoring plans.

4. Forest, Grass, Water and Wetlands Management

- Build local resource stewardship capacity through community projects, training and management programs linked to watershed committee and engaging valley residents;
- Define and implement alternative forest harvest strategies, particularly in riparian areas, and encourage sustainable use of non-timber forest products to increase local jobs and value from land base;
- Review and refine water management strategies through Improvement District in concert with riparian restoration strategy to address fish and other values;
- Extend salmon test fisheries into the Thompson River to monitor, selectively harvest and use passing salmon and steelhead stocks to engage approach fisheries and conserve local stocks;
- Develop grasslands/range management programs associated with grazing and forest tenures through watershed committee to restore riparian area, sensitive grasslands and forests;
- Incorporate planned and controlled burns in forest and grassland management to reduce forest encroachment, revitalize browse, to enhance grazing areas, and protect other values;
- Restore and monitor species and habitats at risk through community projects engaging land owners and tenure holders in the valley;
- Monitor and advance access management planning considering forest, grassland and wetland ecosystem values.
