If you are looking
for a useful last minute Christmas gift for that person that loves to visit
Hornby Island then have a look at the Marine Conservation Atlas that has
just been produced by the Hornby Island Conservancy. This colourful 30 page atlas
presents information of a variety of topics from seabirds to herring to marine
mammals and where they might be seen in the waters or coastal areas of Hornby
Island. The Atlas costs just $20 each
and add $3 for postage if you are wanting to order it. Copies can be obtained
by contacting : chihornby@gmail.com.
For more information on the Hornby Island Conservancy see the following web
site: conservancyhornbyisland.org

We have spent many
days on Hornby Island since we moved to the Comox Valley 3 years ago and the Marine Conservation Atlas is one way
to learn more about it. Be sure to check it out.
Hornby Island is a special place
and we love
sea kayaking around its shores and walking the scenic Helliwell Park trail
along the shore. That is a trail you can do over and over again and never tire
of the amazing views and interesting and varied vegetation. While sea kayaking
we have seen orcas up close as well as seals and sea birds. There is more
information about sea kayak launch points in some of our previous posts- just
type “Hornby Island sea kayaking” in the search bar at the top left of this page. |
