Skeena Wild is hard at work ensuring we all have a healthy watershed to live, play, and harvest delicious wild salmon.
Here are a few things we've been working on this past month and what to expect as we get closer to spring fishing season!

Let’s Pull Together to protect Wild Salmon!
RAVEN (Respecting Aboriginal Values & Environmental Needs) has launched a new campaign to support Indigenous legal challenges of Petronas’ LNG plant on Lelu Island.
Four Aboriginal groups along the Skeena and Nass Rivers are challenging the proposed Petronas LNG facility in court. Their case is strong — but they need support to have the best possible legal defence as they take on giants of industry and government.
RAVEN is proud to stand with the Tsimshian tribe of Gitwilgyoots, the Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs, the Gitxan House of Luutkudziiwus, and the Gitxan House of Gwininitxw to stop Petronas’ LNG pipeline and export terminal in the pristine salmon habitats that have sustained indigenous families for millennia.
