Bush Camp Development.

TWILD crews have been trail building and developing camps for our Land-Based Education Programs. The Klasline bridge was rebuilt after it was burned down and the trail from Iskut to Telegraph Creek was restored. Also, this trail is cut every year that there is a Tene Mehodihi adventure. TWILD also has camps on the Tanzilla river, Buckley Lake and plans a camp in Raspberry Pass.

Our Ancestors’ Trail Exhibition.

Our Ancestors’ Trail is an exhibition named after the Tene Mehodihi baseline adventure program.

We Adapt, We Restore, We Survive

TWILD and Society and Snowchange Co-op Fishing Summit 2019 – June 2019, Dease Lake

We Adapt, We Restore, We Survive was a Tahltan-led Summit in June 2019 in northern British Columbia that brought together roughly 30 Indigenous and traditional community representatives, scientists and selected invite-only NGO delegates to discuss Indigenous -led community-based action to alleviate and address climate and environmental change. The Summit was land-based and was the first event in North America working with the Festivals of Northern Fishing Traditions in Eurasia to share knowledge, seek practical answers and build unity across the Boreal and Arctic.
