BC Nature Guide

The BC Nature Viewing Guide is an initiative of BC Nature (The Federation of BC Naturalists).

This website has been prepared to help enrich your experience of traveling throughout British Columbia. It is planned to be helpful whether you are a visitor or a resident of the province.

This website is being built gradually, with more nature viewing sites being added from time to time. Our priority at the outset is to include sites with multiple nature features of interest, that are more easily accessible by vehicle, along main roads and highways; as well as including car and ferry routes; and nature hiking trails.
