The mission of the Takshanuk Watershed Council (TWC) is to provide stewardship of the Chilkat, Chilkoot, and Ferebee river systems. Through restoration, education, research, and community involvement we seek to benefit the natural ecology, economy, and quality of life valued by all residents. Our vision for the Council is to promote the appreciation and sustainability of the healthy, natural ecosystems within the area. Through our initiatives, we attain a better understanding of our watershed's ecology and use this information to foster stewardship of the streams, rivers, lakes, and lands.
