Located on the wildest remote corner of northwestern Vancouver Island and nestled against the legendary Brooks Peninsula is the Klaskish Inlet in Quatsino territory.
In recent decades, this rugged and beautiful area has been hit hard by clearcutting by Lemare Lake Logging/Lions Gate Forest Products, fragmenting the rainforest valleys of the Klaskish and East Creek, as well as the coastal forests of Heater Point. Pictured here are images from where the Klaskish River drains into the Klaskish Inlet.
Despite that, the region still represents one of the few remaining opportunities to set aside large tracts of ancient rainforest on Vancouver Island. Tools such as conservation financing will be vital in helping establish new, Indigenous-led conservation initiatives in the region.
