The Dewdney and Glide Islands ecological reserve is one of the most vulnerable to the threat of oil spills from the proposed tanker route of the Northern gateway pipeline proposal. The Overview for the ER states the following: Many bog ponds, sloughs, and small lakes are scattered over Dewdney Island in flat areas and depressions,
The threat of a disastrous oil spill that would devastate some marine ecological reserves in BC is looming ever larger. Proposals for two separate sets of Pipelines to the Coast of British Columbia and the ensuing transport of diluted tar-sands bitumen ( dilbit) by giant tankers are now being considered by our governments. The first
This map shows the route of the tankers that would go through Hecate Strait, right past three important Ecological Reserves if the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline is allowed to be built by the Canadian and British Columbia Governments.

There are many special areas of the province with sensitive ecosystems which need protection. Not all are well represented in our Parks / ER System so we encourage individuals to offer their proposals which we will carry and publicize on this website. In the Ecological Reserve Newsletter, The Log , we have often carried articles
This map was produced by the BC forest service in 2009.
Note: This map has omitted the Glide Islands and the subtidal waters.
Special Restrictions: Dewdney and Glide Islands Ecological Reserve is closed to the public to protect nesting birds and their habitat.
Introduction Purpose of the Management Direction Statement Management direction statements (MDS) provide strategic management direction for protected areas that do not have an approved management plan. Management direction statements also describe protected area values, management issues and concerns; a management strategy focused on immediate priority objectives and strategies; and, direction statements from other planning processes.
ORIGINAL PURPOSE To provide a research area containing extensive bog and fen ecosystems representative of outer islands along the northern mainland coast. Physical: Most of the reserve is made up by low-lying Dewdney Island, the southernmost of the Estevan Group, which at low tide is connected to Barnard Island on the north. Many small islands,
