Dean River Conservancy

Highlights in this conservancy

Dean River Conservancy was established as part of government’s land use decision in the Central Coast planning area. The conservancy borders Tweedsmuir Park’s western boundary, providing ecological connectivity between Tweedsmuir Park and Jump Across Creek Conservancy.

The Dean River is one of the few Central Coast Rivers that cut through the coastal mountains, linking the Interior and the coast. Grizzly bears travel through the Dean from the Interior to access coastal fishing grounds.

Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples

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.
