Feature: salmon parks
FNFC is happy to support and share the Mowachaht/Muchalaht and Nuchatlaht First Nations concept of Salmon Parks. These parks in the traditional territories of Mowachaht/Muchalaht and Nuchatlaht First Nations aim to protect the wild salmon from the impacts of industrial logging of old growth forests. They are the focus of an Indigenous-led conservation plan to restore wild salmon vital to the communities and wildlife that depend on them. This initiative supported by Uu-a-thluk, the aquatic resource management department of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council and CPAWS.
