Biographical history
In 2005 the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands was renamed from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries when it was transferred the responsibility for Land and Water British Columbia Inc. and Land Information BC (OIC 450/2005). The mandate of the ministry was to promote economic development and environmental sustainability for the agricultural, aquaculture and food sectors. The ministry is responsible for managing Crown land, allocating Crown land, setting policy for managing the resources, and working with other stakeholders.
In 2010, the Ministry was renamed the Ministry of Agriculture. At this time, many Land functions were transferred to the Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands, and the newly created Ministry of Natural Resource Operations (OIC 652/2010). The Ministry of Agriculture also gained the following functions: policy advice related to range resource management from the Minister of Forests and Range, and marine fisheries and seafood industry development from the Ministry of Environment.

Scope and content
This series contains correspondence referrals and replies from the Integrated Land Management Bureau. Currently, this series contains the records from two offices that reported to the Bureau, the Species at Risk Co-ordination Office (SARCO) and Strategic Initiatives Division. The files contain letters received from the public about species at risk, notably mountain caribou, spirit bear and spotted owl, and the public’s desire to protect those species. Some correspondence also addresses actions taken to protect species, such as closures of snowmobiles areas. Other files group correspondence from a variety of topics, from land use recommendations, BC Parks recreation and conservation, First Nations consultations, appointments and budgets.
Correspondence files contain the original letter received by government, a referral slip asking the concerned office to draft a reply or to keep a copy of the correspondence for informational purposes. Files appear to be arranged by topic and then by referral number. Some files are arranged by geographic location for letters received from outside the province.
The files are classified under the Administrative Records Classification System (Schedule 100001) under the primary and secondary numbers 280-30: Executive correspondence referrals. One file possibly misfiled alongside the other records belongs to 280-40 : Executive issues and includes reports from the Coast Sustainability Trust.
