Valdes Island, Lyackson Island

Picture
Valdes Island is within the Coastal Douglas Fir biogeoclimatic zone, (CDF) which is limited to a small part of southeastern Vancouver Island, several islands in the Gulf of Georgia, and a narrow strip of the adjacent mainland. This zone and its specific conditions provide suitable growing conditions for many unique plant associations, rare and endemic plants and wildlife species.

The CDF zone includes about 50 rare species, restricted entirely to this zone, due to being at the northern limits of their distributions, including species of seaside, aquatic, rock outcrop and forested habitats.
