“We as Kwiakah people have a vision of the future — where nən🐻 & their cubs roam through the mossy, misty forests of our territory, finding a bounty of berries, roots, and fish to eat, and where Kwiakah youth only know their forests as protected and abundant,” -Chief Steven Dick

With the Centre for Excellence, we are exploring opportunities in kelp and seaweed cultivation for processing & #carbonsequestration. Since acquiring the former fish farm site we have repurposed the docks and cage system into a one-hectare kelp test farm! https://t.co/Qpu2jQCJuT

Our new Research Center of Excellence is a floating research facility with accommodations and amenities to support up to 16 scientists and stewardship staff working in our remote region. We are creating new job opportunities in #foreststewardship 🌲🙌 https://t.co/Qpu2jQCbFl

Last year we signed a tripartite agreement with the Province of BC and Interfor to create the new M̓ac̓inuxʷ Special Forest Management Area. This has doubled the current level of protection in #KwiakahNation territory while creating #stewardshipjobs! 👏 https://t.co/Qpu2jQCbFl
