Mount Elliott ER #125 Overview, Physical and Biological
ORIGINAL PURPOSE : To protect in its natural state, a small, self-contained subalpine drainage, including a lake Physical: The reserve includes a complete hanging valley with a subalpine lake. The side walls are steep, but mostly forested. Rocks are granite-type crystalline rocks of the Jurassic Island Intrusions formation. Surficial materials are mostly colluvial, or absent.
Raspberry Harbour ER #91 Overview: Biological and Physical
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To preserve outstanding lodgepole pine stands and adjacent bogland near the northern edge of the Sub-Boreal Spruce Zone Physical: The reserve is located on the flat, eastern half of a peninsula between Omineca Arm and Finlay Reach of Williston Lake. This level land on the floor of the Rocky Mountain Trench, underlain by
Claud Elliott Creek Overview: Physical and Biological
ORIGINAL PURPOSE: To protect representative old-growth montane forest communities on northeastern Vancouver Island Physical: The reserve comprises mostly southeast-facing and some south-facing slopes of a low mountain ridge. Bedrocks belong to the Island Intrusions formation and surficial materials are till and colluvium. Soils are mostly Orthic Humo-ferric Podzols. See the complete version of this document
Aleza Lake Overview:
Physical: The reserve lies on a gently Dissected plain of low relief between the Fraser ND THE Bowron rivers. This area was flooded by a glacial lake at the close of the ice age and is underlain by glacial lake clays. The reserve has a very gentle slope to the north, and small streams flowing
Mount Maxwell ER#37 Overview, Biological and Physical
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect outstanding Garry oak stands and associated vegetation Physical: The reserve is on the strongly sloping southwest side of Baynes Peak. Surficial materials are colluvium and weathered bedrock derived from sandstone. Soils are thin, poorly developed, and subject to summer drought. Dominant soils are Brunisols, but small areas of Podzols occur. Streams

Skagit River Cottonwoods Overview
PHYSICAL: The reserve is on the floodplain of the Skagit River , a relatively small, fast-flowing river with a gradient of about six m/km. The northeast-southwest trending valley, located in the Hozameen Ranges of the Cascade Mountains, is bounded by slopes of about 30o which rise to peaks of 2100-2500 m. The valley is relatively
Gilnockie Creek Overview: Physical and Biological
ORIGINAL PURPOSE: To provide an undisturbed area for silvicultural research on western larch, and a genetic bank for that species. Physical: The reserve lies on the relatively flat valley bottom of Gilnockie Creek at its confluence with the Yahk River, which drains southward into Montana. Rounded, forested summits of the Yahk Range (to the west)
Galiano Island Overview, Biological and Physical
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To preserve a unique bog in the Coastal Douglas-Fir Zone COMPOSITION Physical: The bog, about 900 m long and 125 m wide, lies in an elongate depression between NE-SE trending ridges of Cretaceous sedimentary rock. It has a centrally located open-water area about 0.5 ha in size, and drains southward to Trincomali Channel
Lasqueti Island ER #4 Overview, Biological and Physical
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect vegetation and fauna characteristic of the Coastal Douglas-Fir Zone Access: Much of the reserve was selectively logged in the 1960s, and old logging roads are present. Part of the reserve is fenced to keep out feral sheep. See the complete PDF: lasqueti COMPOSITION The reserve contains a rocky, irregular hill with

Honeymoon Bay ER #113 Overview: Physical and Biological
Original Purpose: To preserve showy stands of the rare fawn lily. Physical: The reserve is located where Sutton and Millar creeks issue from the Vancouver Island mountains, depositing alluvial materials in a reach of reduced gradient, 1.5 km upstream from the creek mouth at Cowichan Lake. Sutton Creek winds through the middle of the reserve.
San Juan Ridge ER #83 Overview, Biological and Physical
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect a rare and disjunct population of the white glacier lily, subalpine mountain hemlock vegetation, and subalpine wetlands. Physical: San Juan Ridge is the remnant of a Tertiary erosion surface, subsequently over-ridden and smoothed by Pleistocene ice which moved southerly across it. The reserve slopes to the north from its southern boundary
Mount Sabine ER #19
Physical: The reserve is situated on gently sloping terrain just north of the summit of Mount Sabine, which marks the southern extremity of the Stanford Range. It has a slight slope to the northwest. Local soils, developed on morainal material which has a limestone component, are believed to be Brunisols. Climate is somewhat cooler and
