Purpose:
Ecological
reserves are areas in British Columbia selected to preserve
representative and special natural ecosystems, plant
and animal species, features and phenomena. The key
role of ecological reserves is to contribute to the
maintenance of biological diversity and the protection
of genetic materials. Scientific research is one of
the principle uses of ecological reserves in British
Columbia. Click

This
ecological reserve is closed to the public.
Anne
Vallee (Triangle Island) Ecological Reserve was established

freshwater fishing, camping, livestock grazing, removal
of materials, plants or animals are prohibited by regulation
in ecological reserves. Motorized vehicles are not allowed.
Research and educational activities may be carried out
but only under permit.
