New Website Launched

We’ve established a non-profit society to oversee the resource management issues in our area. The foundation’s mission statement is threefold:
· develop environmental research and training programs in the fields of resource management and environmental stewardship
· distribute literature-based research findings in the fields described above
· promote sustainable-living practices and responsible management among businesses and households
Be sure to check out the
Wilderness Stewardship and Training Foundation website for further information on our programs and how you can become involved. If the website cannot be found, check back soon – we’re in the process of uploading it.
Wilderness stewardship is second nature to us for we’ve been involved in local resource management issues for as long as we’ve operated Chilcotin Holidays. We’ve been involved in all minor and major resource management issues, arising over the last 18 years in the Cariboo Chilcotin region. Our involvement has included participating in the Lillooet Land Resource Mangement Plan (LRMP) over a six-year period, the creation of the South Chilcotin Mountain Park, risk assessment on the River Run Hydro Projects, mountain goat surveys, log-road risk assessments, and deactivation.
With the development of the
Wilderness Stewardship and Training Foundation we look forward to overseeing further projects, thus ensuring future generations will be able to continue to experience the five-star wilderness that we now enjoy. And, more importantly, to teach responsible stewardship land-use practices.
