TSI & Tahltan Stewardship Plan Update

HARVEST SURVEY

The Guardians went door to door in each of the three communities to conduct harvest surveys. As expected, we were unable to reach all in-territory Tahltans due to work and other commitments. If you did not talk with a Guardian regarding the survey, you will be receiving a survey in the mail or by phone. Going forward, please use your TCG Wildlife Calendar to record your harvests throughout the year. This will make it much easier to recall your harvests during the following year’s round of surveys.

The information gained from these surveys is required for joint decision-making authority in wildlife management and provides proof of our sustenance needs. By participating in the survey, you are entered into a chance to win one of three hunting-related prizes.

UPCOMING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTS

This spring and summer, the Wildlife Department will be looking to set up community updates, workshops, and interviews to gather community wildlife directions and knowledge on caribou, moose, sheep, goats, and other wildlife. This will support Tahltan Knowledge of habitat mapping, community-based wildlife management planning, and further Tahltan governance of wildlife.
