Conservancy overview
Ecstall Headwaters Conservancy was established as part of government’s land use decision for the North Coast planning area.
The Ecstall Headwaters’ large cedar and spruce trees provide important habitat for grizzly bears and marbled murrelets. The headwaters are also the site of an important low-elevation pass that was used for travel and trade between the Gitga’at First Nation of Hartley Bay and the Coast Tsimshian.
