Comox Lake Bluffs ER Presentation

The Wilderness Centre opens on Friday, and the first of a series of Parks 100 Centennial Events at the Centre will be on Monday July 4.

Helen Robinson, naturalist & volunteer warden of Comox Lake Bluffs Ecological Reserve, will give a slide show at 1 pm. on the importance of the Comox Lake Bluffs ER,  showing the beautiful flora & fauna of the site and highlighting many of the rare species found there.

Ecological Reserves are protected areas, created to provide areas for research into natural ecological processes, preserve genetic 'banks', provide benchmark areas, and provide outdoor classrooms - they are not created for outdoor recreation, therefore different from parks and other recreational areas.

Comox Lake Bluffs ER was created to protect unusual dry-site plant communities in the Coastal Western Hemlock zone.
