This unique corner of Vancouver Island is naturally suited to a flourishing variety of wild native plants, towering forests, lush gardens, rocky beaches, and vibrant urban greenspaces.

With clear, concise descriptions and stunning photography, this guide is a must for nature-loving locals and visitors alike.
