Ancient Forest/Chun T'oh Whudujut Provincial Park and Protected Area

Ancient Forest/Chun T'oh Whudujut Provincial Park and Protected Area in central British Columbia was created on 19 May 2016 to protect part of the North American inland temperate rainforest, described as the world’s only inland temperate rainforest. Within the traditional territory of the Lheidli T'enneh Nation, whose relationship to the land reaches back since time immemorial, the park contains trees estimated to be more than 1,000 years old. Its recent history has emphasized shared stewardship and public access, including a 2018 memorandum of understanding on planning and management and a 2020 project to improve facilities and create an interpretive centre focused on Lheidli T'enneh culture.
