This project aims to strengthen ecological and cultural stewardship in Kilbella Bay by focusing on crabapple orchards and salmon habitats, two systems deeply connected to ocean health and grizzly bears as a cultural keystone species. Indigenous leadership will be supported with community-driven research to advance food sovereignty, climate resilience, and governance.
