Peel Watershed -Arctic Paradise

The Peel River Watershed is a jewel in northern Canada. It is an untouched area approximately the size of Ireland. At the Peel River Watershed, herds of caribou migrate unhindered as they have done for thousands of years. Grizzly bears and wolves drink from crystal clear waters. It is paradise for rare flowering plants, as well as a rich variety of moss and lichen. The Gwich'in First Nation and Nancho Nyak Dun have lived in this region for centuries. After these First Nations people made contact with fur traders and missionaries they settled north and south of the Peel River Watershed. Today, this area still remains untouched and under nature’s watchful eye. But, for how long?
