The Skeena Islands project provides detailed information on the ecosystems of the Skeena River floodplain and their condition. This area is made up primarily of the Red-listed Sitka Spruce / salmonberry and the Blue-listed Cottonwood / red-osier dogwood ecosystems. These ecosystems are ranked for their conservation value. The mapping identifies areas with the greatest conservation value. The study area boundary is the floodplain of the Skeena River..

The Skeena Islands project was initiated to provide detailed information on the ecosystems of the lower Skeena River floodplain and their condition. Two reports were produced; one reviewing existing information on the study area, and the second on the landscape and stand scale mapping and research completed as part of the project. Two Terrestrial Ecosystem Maps of the floodplain were produced, based on airphotos from 1947 and 1994/2003. Also conservation value ranks for were produced for polygons using airphotos taken in spring 2005. This area has an extensive history of previous forest harvesting, and is made up primarily of the Red-listed high bench Sitka Spruce / salmonberry ecosystems and the Blue-listed middle bench Cottonwood and red-osier dogwood ecosystems. Conservation value ranks will provide the basis for the restoration of these ecosystems by identifying the areas with the greatest conservation value. The areas with the greatest conservation value are ranked A, and the least conservation value are ranked D.
