Neāh Conservancy is a conservancy located in the Stikine Region of British Columbia, Canada. The conservancy was established on 31 March 2013 through a cooperative resource management and land use planning agreement between BC Parks and the Kaska Dena First Nations.[3]
Ne’āh’ Conservancy is located between Cassiar Mountains and the Liard Plains in northern British Columbia. The conservancy borders BC Highway 37 and the much smaller Tā Ch’ilā Provincial Park to the west. Covering an area of 233304ha, it is the second largest conservancy after Kitlope Heritage Conservancy.[3]
The conservancy protects high value habitat for a variety of mammal species such as black bear, boreal woodland caribou, moose, mountain goat, and stone sheep.[3]
