Conservancy overview
Burnt Bridge Creek Conservancy was established as part of government’s land use decision in the Central Coast planning area. Burnt Bridge Conservancy abuts the western boundary of Tweedsmuir Park and has significant historical and cultural values.
The conservancy includes a portion of the Nuxalk-Carrier Grease trail system, which was established by First Nations for trade between the west coast and the interior of British Columbia. The area is also historically significant as the location where Alexander Mackenzie first reached the Bella Coola Valley in 1793.
