Protecting the Woodland Cree Muskeg - A three-pronged approach

Nature-based Solutions and Conservation

The leadership of Woodland Cree First Nation is committed to preserving and conserving the substantial areas of muskeg that defines it traditional land-use boundaries. Accordingly, the Nation is undertaking an aggressive three-pronged initiative that will achieve the following before the end of calendar year 2030: (i) complete a detailed and robust State of the Wetland inventory and classication of the muskeg as per Alberta's Wetland Classification System; (ii) develop and implement a thorough Muskeg Management Program that recognizes traditional knowledge and wisdom; and move forward in having the extant muskeg recognized formally as a natural carbon sequestration site.
