The Peel Watershed has been recognized as an internationally significant wild place. Those of you who have been there or heard about understand why. This 68,000 km2 watershed accounts for 14% of the Yukon. It encompasses six vast watersheds - the Wind, Snake, Bonnet Plume, Hart, Blackstone and Ogilvie. It is home to one of our largest and most remote woodland caribou herds, along with a bounty of other thriving species including migratory birds, moose, grizzly, black bear, lynx, wolverine and more. It encompasses the traditional homeland of four First Nations. It is a vital source of clean drinking water and a stable economic driver in our tourism, recreation and guide outfitting industries.


We want to ensure we keep all these qualities long into the future.
