Mt. Tuam Ecological Reserve

Located at the southwest corner of Salt Spring Island, a hike in Mount Tuam Ecological Reserve rewards with stunning views towards Victoria and the United States. The ecological reserve was established to conserve forest ecosystems representative of the dry subzone of the Coastal Douglas-fir Zone. A large variety of birds have been recorded, including Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle, Blue Grouse, California Quail, Brown Creeper, Woodpeckers and Bewick’s Wren. The trail takes a bit of route finding, so be sure to do your research before departing.
