Preserving our cultural heritage is an important step in maintaining a sense of who we are, but we also need to preserve the natural environment, to give us a greater context for the world we live in as a whole. Man is naught but a late-comer to this globe, and we must attempt to live in harmony with all other living things. The following organizations are focussed on helping to preserve our natural heritage.

• Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society
• The Nature Conservancy
• Sierra Club Home Page
• Western Canada Wilderness Committee
• Links to other ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS

Some of my favourite sites for parks and museums are:
• the British Columbia Museums Association;
• curriculum papers about the Sto:lo Nation;
• the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC;
• the British Columbia History World Wide Web Page;
• The Cariboo Sentinel with news about Barkerville and Cariboo gold rush of the 1860's;
