B.C. First Nations work to restore ancient seafood farms
When the tide rolls out, First Nations elders and youth scramble down the beach to restore ancient seafood farms that helped feed their ancestors for millennia. The Hul’q’umi’num and Wsanec First Nations are helping rebuild two clam gardens in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, replacing stones in 1,000-year-old low rock walls that are filled with shell hash, sand gravel and boulders to create a beneficial growing environment for edible sea creatures.
