The town of Faro is located within the traditional hunting and trapping area of the Kaska Dena people of Ross River, in an area that continues to be a prime moose-hunting spot. The Faro mine operated for several decades with continued involvement by the First Nations people of the region.
The community of Faro has worked together with the Ross River Dena Council on a number of issues, including the planning, building and ongoing maintenance of the Dena Cho Trail and mine site clean-up. A contractor in Ross River carried out part of the mine site work, which included removal of scrap and derelict core shacks.
