Tłı̨chǫ tree-planting project paused after death of helicopter pilot
A helicopter pilot who died Monday following a crash near Highway 3 had been part of a reforestation project, the Tłı̨chǫ government said in a news release Thursday. "This loss is felt deeply across our communities," Tłı̨chǫ Grand Chief Jackson Lafferty stated. On Monday afternoon, RCMP said the helicopter crashed about 1.5 kilometres from Highway 3, near Behchokǫ̀. The pilot died from his injuries. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating and has said it is working with Great Slave Helicopters — which the helicopter was registered to — to collect information. "We are proud of and grateful to the medical staff, tree planters, wildlife monitors, RCMP, and paramedics who responded swiftly and worked tirelessly in an effort to save the pilot's life," the Tłı̨chǫ government wrote. In its news release, the Tłı̨chǫ government said it would be pausing the reforestation project for "a period of reflection" and to prioritize its team's health and safety. After that, the government said, it "[hopes] to continue this meaningful work with both grief and gratitude in our hearts." The reforestation project aims to plant 12 million more trees on Tłı̨chǫ land.
