"description":"Display the footprints and necessary layers for the Livingstone-Procupine Hills Land Footprint Management Plan. This map service is intended solely for use within the CE-DST applications: CE-DST, CE-DST Regulator and CE-DST Public.The complete management plan related to this region can be accessed here: https://open.alberta.ca/publications/9781460139660. Sub-region general description extracted from the management plan at page 5:The Livingstone-Porcupine Hills, combined with the Castle Parks, form a landscape complex that is an integral part of the internationally significant Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. The Crown of the Continent has long been recognized by Indigenous Peoples, scientists, and conservation groups as an ecologically significant area. It comprises the headwaters of North America\u2019s three great watersheds (the Saskatchewan, Missouri and Columbia River systems) and is recognized as critical to the protection of wildlife, landscapes and water\u2075. The Livingstone-Porcupine Hills subregion is situated northwest of Pincher Creek, west of Claresholm and surrounds the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in the Eastern Slopes of the South Saskatchewan Region. It is a mountainous landscape surrounded by a patchwork of farms and ranches. The Livingstone area and the Porcupine Hills are two distinct but adjacent landscapes. Both are known for their viewscapes, iconic wildlife species, diversity of climate regimes and ecosystems (grasslands, forests, foothills, and alpine habitats), key linkage areas, and wilderness. The planning area encompasses approximately 1,401 km² within the Livingstone and another 392 km² within the Porcupine Hills. The \u2018Cowboy Trail\u2019 (Highway 22), is the area\u2019s main transportation artery. Intersecting Highway 22 are private and public roads accessing historic and current forest harvest areas, oil, gas, and mining sites, as well as grazing lease lands and provincial parks. The metallurgical coal potential and tourism opportunities are significant and important economic resources for the region and the province. Many trails were created by outdoor recreation users who enjoy using public lands for various activities including camping, hunting and fishing, horseback riding and off-highway vehicle use. These activities have all left a footprint on the landscape.",
