註釋Outdoor recreation/tourism is an important and traditional use of the Northern Forest, adding to the quality of life of both residents and visitors. The mountains that are distributed throughout this region are highly valued for the wide range of recreation opportunities they provide. However these highly valued recreation resources are also of high ecological value. Many of these summits harbor habitat for rare plant and wildlife species. The ecosystems that mountain summits support are highly vulnerable to damage caused by recreational use. Degraded resources, along with unfavorable social and managerial conditions, could also potentially threaten the quality of the recreation experience on mountain summits. The challenge, therefore, is providing for high quality recreation opportunities and experiences while protecting fragile and valuable natural resources.
