Picture in your mind the iconic, almost mythic geography of Canada's north: vast land-scapes, pounding herds of caribou, gangly moose feeding beside freshwater sloughs, a pack of wolves silhouetted against a moonlit winter, tall, jagged mountains, and rushing rivers silvered with wild salmon. All that, and much more, is the Taku watershed.

Raising Our Voices

The government of British Columbia is currently entering into land use planning negotiations with Taku River Tlingit First Nation that will include the Taku watershed. Let the governments of Canada and BC know how you feel about permanently protecting wilderness values in the Taku.
