About Skeenawild
SkeenaWild Conservation Trust was started in the fall of 2007. We are a regional conservation initiative whose goal is to make the Skeena River watershed and nearby coastal communities a global model of ecologic and economic sustainability. We are governed by a group of seven volunteer trustees drawn from a variety of backgrounds.
SkeenaWild utilizes the following strategies to realize its goals:
• Catalysing and supporting planning processes which advocate for ecologic, economic and social sustainability and resiliency.
• Building a Skeena watershed regional identity through direct public outreach activities and a variety of media.
• Attracting and providing resources to build the new salmon economy.
• Facilitating dialogue among residents of the watershed, First Nations and specific interest groups such as commercial and recreational fishers, municipal leaders and resource managers.
• Conducting and sponsoring research into relevant ecological, economic and social issues.
