Whitefeather Forest Planning Area
The Whitefeather Forest Initiative is an economic renewal and community stewardship vision for the traplines of Pikangikum First Nation people within our Traditional Territories (Biikanjikamiing Bimaadiziwaat ODaakiimiwun). This 1.3 million hectare land base is called the Whitefeather Forest Planning Area. [ See Larger Map ]
The Whitefeather Forest Planning Area is located in Northwestern Ontario, and is centered on the headwaters of the Berens River Watershed. It is bounded by Woodland Caribou Provincial Park in the southwest, the Red Lake and Trout Lake Sustainable Forest License units in the south and southeast, the Albany River Watershed to the east and the Severn River Watershed to the north.
Pikangikum First Nation people have a historical occupancy interest in three small areas adjacent to the Whitefeather Forest Planning Area (WFPA). We have a cooperative relationship with the Ministry of Natural Resources in which they will be leading land use planning for these three areas.
