Q’altanaas/Aaltanhash Conservancy is located on the east side of Princess Royal Channel, along the Inside Passage route. It shares its northwestern boundary with K’lgaan/Klekane Conservancy and its southern boundary with K’ootz/Khutze Conservancy.
Q’altanaas/Aaltanhash Conservancy protects the Aaltanhash and McIsaac River watersheds, scenic mountains, coastal old growth forests, bear habitat, salmon spawning streams, marbled murrelets and low-elevation Sitka spruce forests. It also provides a protected anchorage adjacent to the main Inside Passage route where visitors can spend a night to rest, fish or watch wildlife.
