About this work
Since 2019, Katzie First Nation, WWF-Canada, the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, the DFO Resource Restoration Unit and other local partners have been working to restore important habitat in the Upper Pitt River Watershed. This project includes opportunities for Katzie members to engage with the restoration work and gain related skills and expertise, such as through completing this salmon habitat restoration course. Restoration efforts are improving habitat for wildlife such as sockeye, chinook and coho salmon populations. In 2021, the team added archaeological assessments and began to explore how this work will increase the ecosystem’s ability to sequester carbon, helping to mitigate the climate crises. This project is enhancing Katzie First Nation’s ability to exercise their right to self-determination and will help to ensure that future generations have access to healthy and abundant fish stocks.
