Cowichan River - Gibbins Road
The Nature Trust is delighted to be receiving a donation of 36 acres of forest and riparian corridor along the Cowichan River near Duncan, on Vancouver Island.
The Cowichan River is designated as a Canadian Heritage River System because of its significant abundance and variety of fish. The shores around the Cowichan River abound with biodiversity and contain rare and endangered birds and other animals including the Vancouver Island Ermine, Roosevelt Elk, Peregrine Falcon, Band-tailed Pigeon, Barn Swallow, and Common Nighthawk.
