About this protected area
Anarchist Protected Area plays a very important conservation role in the Okanagan Valley. It is home to four blue-listed and two red-listed bat species. The Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir forest provides habitat for the red-listed white-headed woodpecker and Williamson’s sapsucker, among five other blue-listed birds. Four red and blue-listed snake species are also found in the protected area including the night snake and Western rattlesnake.
Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples
BC Parks honours Indigenous Peoples’ connection to the land and respects the importance of their diverse teachings, traditions, and practices within these territories. This park webpage may not adequately represent the full history of this park and the connection of Indigenous Peoples to this land. We are working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples to update our websites so that they better reflect the history and cultures of these special places.
