Tatshenshini - Ice Age Wilderness

This is a 1990 Wilderness Committee education report which was co-published with the group, Tatshenshini Wild, about the campaign to preserve the Tatshenshini River in the face of a plan by the mining company Geddes to construct the massive Windy Craggy open pit copper mine in the heart of this wilderness area.

 

In 1994 the campaign to preserve the Tatsenshini met success with the creation of the Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park, which is 958,000 hectares in size. See our History and Achievements page.
