About this conservancy
The conservancy is in the asserted traditional territory of the Squamish Nation, and provides extensive opportunities for traditional spiritual and cultural uses. The translation of Esté-tiwilh (pronounced us-tut-ee-wayth) is “the great beauty and power that surrounds us and that we should strive to be in harmony with.”
Within the conservancy is a rare floodplain Sitka Spruce Devil’s Club ecosystem.
The conservancy protects high value habitat, including mountain goat winter range, salmon foraging areas for grizzly bear, marbled murrelet nesting habitat, winter roost sites for bald eagle, spotted owl habitat, and steelhead and salmon spawning areas.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
