Conservation and Community at Klahoose
Klahoose Wilderness Resort and Klahoose Coastal Adventures are 100% owned by the Klahoose First Nation. Many of the resort’s cultural interpreters, guides and staff are Klahoose and they invite you to see the beauty of the BC coast through their eyes, and to experience shared traditions and stories handed down through generations.
The Klahoose ancestors have managed and protected the region’s natural resources, environment and inhabitants for millennia, and continue to support sustainable forestry and aquaculture for all future generations. They are committed to the preservation, conservation, and protection of our ocean, wilderness, marine, and terrestrial life, as well as supporting the local community through the following initiatives:
- Investment in glacier, watershed, and ocean health research
- Partnership with the Commercial Bear Viewing Association to develop industry standards, consistent guide training, and ongoing research to protect bear and wildlife habitat
- Contribution to the local economy to support regional coastal communities by purchasing locally-sourced goods and food, hiring local and Indigenous staff, and supporting artists
- Creating a mentorship program for Indigenous youth for careers in tourism
- The off-the-grid Resort produces its own power and supplies excess power across the territory
By choosing to stay at Klahoose Wilderness Resort each guest contributes to these projects, whilst gaining a greater understanding of and passion for protecting this special corner of our planet.
