area for the community of Wrigley in the Dehcho Region.
The area is used extensively by the local Pehdzeh Ki
First Nation for year-round subsistence harvesting.
The area is relatively undeveloped and provides habitat
for moose, boreal woodland caribou, barren-ground caribou, black bears,
wolves, beavers, migratory birds, and several species of fish.
Pehdzeh Ki Ndeh represents four different ecoregions,
including extensive peatland which acts as a water filter and carbon
sink.
