ORIGINAL PURPOSE To protect an area of montane and subalpine flora and fauna representative for the North West Cascade Ecosection and protect rare species and special karst habitat. Physical: The reserve consists of the three south/north-draining valleys and headwaters of Liumchen Creek, between the international border and their confluence. The two western of these parallel
ORIGINAL PURPOSE: To protect nesting seabirds, raptors and marine environments The land area, less than 4% in total, is comprised of four significant islands and many associated islets and reefs, located in four groups. These are the outermost islands of the central mainland coast, located within an area of low relief along the eastern edge

Invasive non-native plants are a serious threat to native species, communities, and ecosystems in many areas around the world. They can compete with and displace native plants, animals, and other organisms that depend on them, alter ecosystem functions and cycles significantly, hybridize with native species, and promote other invaders. The good news is that many
During 2000, the warden made 13 visits to the reserve. Most of these visits were for general survey purposes but other visits were for beach clean-up on Alpha and Griffin Islets, preliminary wildflower survey on Jemmy Jones Islet, Double-crested Cormorant nest count on Great Chain Island and broom removal on Griffin Islet. On five occasions
This map is derived from the Management Direction Statement of BC Parks Introduction Purpose for the MDS The purpose of this management direction statement (MDS) is to provide management direction for the Liumchen Ecological Reserve. As an important component of the overall protected area system of the Lower Mainland (Figure 1), the upper Liumchen Creek
Purpose Statement Primary Role: The primary role of Byers/Conroy/Harvey/Sinnett Islands Ecological Reserve is to protect terrestrial and marine habitats and prevent the disturbance of nesting seabirds and raptors: The only know occurrence of peregrine falcons nesting in trees. Only significant breeding site of tufted puffins along the mainland coast. Seal pupping areas. Extensive kelp reefs
