The Ksi X’anmaas (Kwinamass River) Conservancy is adjacent to Khutzeymateen/K’tzim-a-deen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary inlet and protects important grizzly bear habitat. The conservancy protects a large estuary with sedge flats and inter-tidal habitats rich in food sources for grizzly bears.
Low lying passes between Ksi’anmaas and K’tzim-a-deen provide travel corridors for the grizzly bears that utilise both watersheds. The Ksi X’anmaas Conservancy is an important salmon bearing stream providing opportunities for angling in a wilderness setting.
