CIER, with our First Nation partners, created a tool that provides guidance for First Nations who want to take action on watershed planning.
These guidebooks propose a model of watershed planning that is led by First Nations and creates an opportunity to address unique First Nation needs, relationships, and rights. These guidebooks aim to support increased First Nations’ involvement in regional watershed planning processes.
