Skeena River
The Skeena River is one of the longest rivers in British Columbia, Canada, stretching approximately 610 kilometers. It flows from the Skeena Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, passing through various landscapes, including forests and valleys. The river is known for its rich biodiversity and is a vital habitat for salmon, making it an important area for both ecology and local fisheries.
The river's watershed supports several communities, including the city of Terrace and the village of Kitwanga. The Skeena is also significant for Indigenous peoples, who have lived in the region for thousands of years and rely on its resources for sustenance and cultural practices.
