Rivers Inlet Resort supports the Great Bear Rainforest Park and donated to help with its creation. The Nature Conservancy has raised 52 million dollars of private money for this great project. Please help support this great cause.
The Canadian Government created the Great Bear Rainforest with its announcement on February 6th 2006. The new park, which is twice the size of Yellowstone, will protect the forest of 4.4 million acres of land. Additionally, the Great Bear Park will cover another 11.6 million acres that will be managed under an ecosystem management plan. The new park takes in the entire Central B.C. Coast all the way to the Alaskan border. At a later date it will also encompass the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is great news for Pacific salmon stocks because the new Great Bear Rainforest Park will provide unprecedented protection to the ecosystem so vital to our precious salmon stocks.

Recreational fishing will still be allowed throughout this new park, and will benefit from the protection the park will provide to the ecosystem that supports thousands of salmon-producing watersheds.
