Today, the Heritage Forest provides old-growth attributes, such as snags and wildlife trees supporting notable key-featured species: Barred Owls, Great-Horned Owls, and Pileated Woodpeckers, among others. The Forest supports a wide variety of flora and fauna, some of which are unique.
A Conservation Covenant was signed at a ceremony on July 15, 2008 and registered on Title, thereby forming a partnership between the BPPS, the Town of Qualicum Beach and The Land Conservancy of British Columbia (TLC). The Conservation Covenant ensures that these Lands are protected from development and are to be used as a natural preserve for the appreciation and enjoyment of nature by the public, in perpetuity.
