An 80-hectare swath of land within Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, northeast of Bella Coola, B.C., will be added to the park after a successful fundraising campaign by the B.C. Parks Foundation.
The foundation announced on Tuesday that more than 100 contributors, including one major anonymous donor, had given nearly $700,000, enough to buy the property and fund its management.
