Provincial parks: Stikine River Provincial Park, Tatlatui Provincial Park, Spatsizi Plateau Provincial Park, Todagin South Slope Provincial Park, Kinaskan Provincial Park, and Mount Edziza Provincial Park.
Natural Resources: Minerals: coalbed methane, coal, there is a world lode gold database and a porphyry related deposit, and it has one of the biggest metal producers in the world it has a copper-gold and silver mine that is filled to the top with rare metals,
Oil: the stikine nass headwaters is rich with oil, shell gets a lot of oil from the sacred headwaters but the aboriginal peoples are protesting to get them out but the coalbed methane there is amazing how much there are over 400,000 hectares of coalbed methane which gives them a rich economy, plus salmon.
Animals: there are a few unique animals in the sacred headwaters that include, grizzly bears, stone sheep (the biggest heard of stone sheep in the world,) wolves, goats, spirit bears, sandhill crane, woodland Caribou, and it's one of the biggest salmon rivers in Canada and it has some of the most bears in the world because of the salmon river.
Resources: salmon, oil, trees, solar energy, metal, minerals, there are also many fossil fuels like coal over three million tons of coal,
Plants: there are many spruce trees lots of mossy plants, most of there plants are grown around there twisting rivers and there are maple trees. Here is a quick list of what I just said, We have many plants, Unique animals, Many resources for the economy, We have oil, Minerals, Many provincial parks and much more.
Task #3
For this task I'm going to name one deciduous tree and a coniferous tree in detail. For the deciduous tree is the tower poplar, the usual height the tower poplar is 50 feet tall and the spread is usually ten feet, here is a description of the tower poplar, An extremely tall and
narrow pencil-like tree, used primarily as a sharp vertical accent or in a row as a very tall screen, fast growing, more disease resistant than Lombardy poplar, when it is fall the tower poplar terns yellow, some landscape attributes are that the Tower Poplar is a deciduous tree
with a strong central leader and a narrowly upright and columnar growth habit. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other landscape plants with finer foliage. This tree will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and usually looks its best without
pruning, although it will tolerate pruning. Though it will get disease really easily it's a really nice tree.
My coniferous tree I'm going to use the Sitka spruce Native to: B.C. coastline, especially Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Islands and northern coastal forests Habitat: along waterways — at the edge and several kilometres inland. Will grow in moist environments in well-drained soil Appearance: grows up to 55 metres although a 95-metre specimen apparently lives on Vancouver Island. It is the only Canadian spruce with flattened needles, with a little ‘keel’ below. Its shape is columnar with a pointed crown; branches are different lengths giving it a more open look, with gaps in between. This tree does not require any maintenance except if it catches a disease which is highly unlikely.
The animals I'm going to be explaining in detail are wolverines and grizzly bears. Let's start with the Wolverines, Gulo gulo scientific name
Mass: 9 – 25 kg (Adult) Trophic level: Carnivorous Lifespan: 5 – 13 years Yet the wolverine may be small but it can take down moose with only a bit of effort it is really strong fast and furious it's a very sneaky animal, it lives in borrows an dis willing to challenge bears to a fight and the thing is the Wolverines usually come out victorious. The wolverine is usually found in Canada near lakes and in big forest, they are Endangered but they live well on their own.
Grizzly bears. Grizzlies are a type of brown bear that are bigger but endangered, they mostly eat fish which is why there are so many grizzly bears in our region if you didn't read before the sacred headwaters has a huge salmon river and they have lots of berries to snack on, so they are omnivores. Surprisingly grizzly bears are not too territorial but I wouldn't go near them. The grizzly bears grow to 6 ft tall when they are adults usually plus there usual weight is about 400 pounds, the grizzly beats are rare and need to be protected.

Task # 1
Some ways this region is valued is because there are seven provincial parks and their names are: Stikine River Provincial Park, Tatlatui Provincial Park, Spatsizi Plateau Provincial Park, Todagin South Slope Provincial Park, Kinaskan Provincial Park, andMount Edziza Provincial Park. Salmon go to the headwaters to spawn which gives bears opportunity to eat them. Todagin Mountain is home to the largest herd of lambing stone sheep in the world. Royal Dutch Shell owned many leases in this area because of the coalbed methane. We need to protect the Sacred Headwaters because it is one of the most endangered rivers in the world. This area is home to many habitats and Y2Y's goal is to protect habitat of critical value.
The First Nations also have a history in this area. The Nisga'a have a legend that involves the Tseax Cone, a local volcano. The Stikine watershed encompasses approximately 52, 000 kilometres. The Skeena River is the second longest river just in B.C. This region is beautiful and should be saved.
The terrain in this area is mountainous with valleys, and has many rivers,and also has some volcanoes, and forests. This region has many lava flows which should be preserved. There is a gold mine that could potentially harm the animals. There is lots of forestry in this region. There is three aboriginal tribes in this area.Protect the Sacred Headwaters.
