Write Your Letter Here

Over the last few months, you may have heard about the ridiculous plan by Taseko Mines Ltd. to destroy Fish Lake by turning it into a toxic waste dumpsite for a gold-copper mine, and replace it with man-made Prosperity Lake. Fish Lake is a lake so rich and abundant it is home to over 90,000 fish, and the Tsilhqot’in people have considered it sacred for time out of mind.

Three things make the Wilderness Committee the ideal environmental volunteer experience for me: first, the Committee has an uncompromising commitment to the environment and wildlife; secondly, its staff is forthright, friendly, passionate, politically savvy, committed, funny, and great to work with; and lastly, the Committee provides constructive opportunities to get directly involved in a wide range of activities, campaigns, and issues for the benefit of the environment and wildlife.
