Protect the Flathead River Valley

Protect the Flathead River Valley
We're two steps away from total protection of the Flathead River Valley. In a remarkable move, the BC Government has banned mining from the region. Now we're asking the Prime Minister to establish permanent protection for BC's Flathead River Valley.
 
 
Step One Fill in the missing piece of Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park creating a wildlife sanctuary in the lower one third of BC's Flathead River Valley.
 
Step Two The provincial government connects Waterton-Glacier to Canada's Rocky Mountain Parks by creating a Wildlife Management Area in the remainder of the Flathead and along the spine of the B.C. Rockies..

 

The Flathead River Valley is located in the southeastern corner of British Columbia. In addition to being home to familiar wildlife, it's also home to more species of wild flowers and carnivores than anywhere else in Canada.

 

Wildlife like mountain goats, lynx and grizzly bears that call the Flathead home don't follow international borders or park boundaries. They roam across three different borders: British Columbia, Alberta and Montana.

 

As our climate changes, these animals will be forced to adapt quickly. A wildlife sanctuary and corridor will provide freedom to roam and allow the Flathead's ecosystem to remain intact.

 

Email Prime Minister Stephen Harper and let him know the Flathead River Valley and the wildlife that call it home matters to Canadians.
