DCA Feature Property: Pickles Waterfall Wetland

.

These two adjacent properties were purchased in September 2021, rounding out a series of conservation campaigns and land acquisitions that spans the entire 30-year life of Denman Conservancy Association. The properties, totalling 80 acres, are contiguous with Denman Island Provincial Park lands and are across Pickles Road from the Inner Island Nature Reserve, held by Islands Trust Conservancy. The land also has a common boundary with DCA’s settlement lands. This new conservation area is home to the SARA-listed (Species at Risk Act) red-legged frog (Rana aurora) and contains habitat for many other species at risk recorded in adjacent conservation areas
