Elder Cedar Nature Reserve

Elder Cedar Nature Reserve (S’ul-hween X’pey)

This beautiful nature conservation area lies north of North Road and west of Seawind Drive. It includes some old-growth forest and forest wetland, and some rare and vanishing species live here.  Elder Cedar Reserve is owned by the Islands Trust Fund, who have requested that the trails not be marked on our maps. If you explore the area (on foot only please, with pets closely leashed), please respect this special environment. Stay on the main trails and boardwalks within the Reserve boundaries and do not trespass on adjacent properties.
