This project was initiated by the Statimc communities of Titqet and Sekwelwas. The
Statimc people have lived and worked in the Lillooet region for thousands of years, and are the
caretakers of ecological, spiritual, and community values in the area. In 2015 Titqet and
Sekwelwas began investigating how wetlands in the Statimc territory could be protected from
further degradation and loss resulting from hydroelectric, agricultural, and residential
development.
As in many landscapes around the world, the wetlands of the Bridge/Seton Watershed are rare
yet extremely valuable habitat features. Historical and contemporary loss of wetlands to hydro
projects, agriculture, and other human uses, has increased the rarity of these features in this
watershed. As such it has become necessary to inventory our wetlands in order to better
understand their health and function, and to prioritize the protection and conservation of these
features during ongoing land management.
The main goals of this project were:
To determine the spatial extent and occurrence of wetlands within the Lillooet region, with
a focus on areas of interest of the Sekwelwas and Titqet communities in 2016
To gather a thorough accounting of site attributes including characteristics of vegetation,
soils, hydrology, and amphibian occupancy on each site
To categorize each wetland site based on FWCP guidelines. Category 1 natural
wetland habitats; Category 2 degraded wetland habitats; Category 3 created
wetlands.
To develop local capacity for wetland research and stewardship
To enhance the wildlife value of the Cayoosh Elementary wetland, and the Off-Channel 3
wetland sites.
