Nahanni National Park Reserve
Parks Canada is in the process of consulting with Canadians on the proposed boundaries for Nááts´ihch´oh [pronounced Nah tseen cho] National Park Reserve.
The park reserve will be established in collaboration with the Sahtu Dene and Métis of Tulita and Norman Wells, NWT. It will border Nahanni National Park Reserve (NNPR) in the neighbouring Dehcho. The result will be two connected national parks working together to protect the globally renowned Boreal wilderness of the South Nahanni watershed. This is a spectacular recreational place for canoeing and hiking, and is critical habitat for woodland caribou, grizzly bears and other important wildlife species.
What's next?
Public meetings are now underway about the final boundaries for Nááts'ihch'oh National Park Reserve. Parks Canada will post the boundary options on their website shortly. CPAWS will post our assessment of the options shortly and let you know how you can submit your comments.
