Conservation

The Megin watershed is the largest undisturbed watershed on Vancouver Island. The watershed is characterized by karst limestone geology, rare plants, old-growth spruce, fir and cedar forests, a large fresh water lake and an estuary. The Megin River supports four salmon species and steelhead, and there are streams with excellent spawning conditions throughout the park addition. This park addition includes all of the Megin and Talbot river drainages.
