The fourth video in a part five part series has been released by Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Limited.
It’s focus is on how their large scale forest rehabilitation projects help to care for the land, the people, and the water.
Executive Director of CCR, (Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation) Percy Guichon, said people around the world watched the devastating impacts earlier this year of the landslide that blocked the Chilcotin River impacting wildlife, fish, and recreation.
“This reaffirmed to our team the importance of their forest rehabilitation work to help care for the land and water and to help minimize these kinds of catastrophic events in the future. Water is relied upon for our cultural practices, our traditional knowledge, as a food source, and the for the livelihood of our communities,” Guichon said, “This is why the work we do in forest rehabilitation is so critical to ensure the water is protected to enhance and sustain life for all.”
Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation has been salvaging and rehabilitating large areas of land in the Cariboo Chilcotin to help the forest regrow, mitigate wildfire risk to communities, and to improve wildlife habitat.
And instead of burning wood waste left over from harvesting work in slash piles, Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation has utilized this excess residual fibre to help create green energy that supports local industries.
Central Chilcotin Rehabilitation Ltd. is a joint venture of Tsideldel First Nation and Tl’etinqox Government.
