About Wetzin’kwa

Wetzin’kwa Community Forest Corporation’s goal is to manage the community forest area for the long term economic, environmental and social benefit of the residents of the Bulkley Valley. This includes planning and management that will reflect the local communities’ values, encouragement of a collaborative, multi-resource user landbase; and maintaining the functional integrity of ecosystems on the landbase for long term sustainability and diversity of plant and animal species.
