Community Based Fish and Wildlife Work Plan

The Community Based Fish and Wildlife Work Plan (CBFWWP) is a collaboration between Carcross Tagish First Nation (CTFN), Yukon Government, and Carcross Tagish Renewable Resources Council (CTRRC). The plan represents a shared vision for fish, wildlife, and habitat management over a five year period within the CTFN Traditional Territory, commonly known as the Southern Lakes, Yukon. The three parties collectively agree to defined objectives, some to be completed together and some separately. For example, some objectives set out and accomplished in the previous 2020-2025 CBFWWP include; the completion of the Caribou in the Schools education curriculum, establishing ground-based sheep surveys on Caribou Mountain, creating a Fishing Ethics and Education (FEED) course, and a wolf/predator relationship study. For reference, the 2020-2025 Community-Based Fish and Wildlife Work Plan can be found here.

The objectives are defined by the three parties to the Work Plan, but the most valuable source of information is you, the community. CTRRC gathers feedback from surveys, emails and letters addressed to CTRRC, comments at annual gatherings and workshops, and through a local knowledge survey where community members who spend hundreds of days per year on the land provide feedback on the landscape. Your opinion matters. Between October 2024 and February 2025, CTRRC will be conducting community engagement by way of community workshops, online surveys, and collecting emails and letters.
