What We Do
With diverse landscapes, relatively large geographic distances, and a myriad of social, cultural and economic values, the Thompson Watershed is a unique landscape. To help protect this region’s special spaces and species, the TNCC brings diverse perspectives and partners together to support conservation initiatives, including sharing of resources, knowledge, and skills within the Watershed. To help achieve our vision, our goals and strategies are aligned with four focus areas of work.
