Maps and location
Getting there
The Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution – Blunden Bay Conservancy is located just on British Columbia’s Central Coast and found 60 km north of Port Hardy, 217 km northwest of Campbell River, and 407 km northwest of Vancouver.
About this conservancy
The Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution – Blunden Bay Conservancy is within the traditional territories of the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nation. This area of the coast played a significant role in the lives of First Nations and continues to be an area of importance today.
Within its confines are sandy beaches, tidal flats, sea cliffs, seaside rock platforms, rugged points and rocky headlands. Just off shore are kelp beds, grey whale feeding grounds. The upland is generally flat and low lying and has the characteristic features of a coastal bog forest with small streams, ponds, and swamps.
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.
