| Overview | |
| Vuntut National Park is managed under the Vuntut National Park Management Plan (Parks Canada et al. 2024). A detailed description of the ecological, cultural and economic values of Vuntut National Park is contained in Gray and Alt (2001)1 and Parks Canada et al. (2024). Vuntut National Park protects a portion of the Old Crow Flats wetlands complex and unglaciated uplands of the British Richardson Mountains. Protection and interpretation of ecological and cultural resources is the primary management objective for the Protected Area. The park was established in 1993 as part of the Old Crow Flats SMA through the VGFN Final Agreement. | |
