The Lheidli T’enneh Nation is about to embark on a major cultural and recreational development east of Prince George.
The First Nation has received provincial and federal funding for $8.7 million worth of upgrades to Chun T’oh Whudujut (Ancient Forest) Park and Protected area.
The project will feature hiking trails, an interpretive center, sweat lodge, pit house, gazebo, improved boardwalks, washrooms, access roads, and parking.
Chief Clay Pountney says their ancestors have visited the site, the only inland temperate rainforest in the world, for thousands of years.
The development will take place over the next three years.
