Clayoquot Sound at a Glance
The wild and biologically rich Clayoquot Sound is a vast area on the west coast
of Vancouver Island.
Encompassing the town of Tofino
and four First Nations reserves, the region includes a maze of mountains, rivers,
lakes, marine areas and offshore islands. In 1993, the name Clayoquot became
known worldwide when a massive protest thwarted attempts to log in the area's
ancient rain forests. With the support of local First Nations, surrounding communities,
and the three levels of government, Clayoquot Sound was later designated as
the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The reserve is dedicated to conservation,
sustainable development, and support for research, education and training. It
is also a unique, eco-friendly tourist attraction, featuring a network of hiking
trails, beaches and breathtaking boat tours. Two well-known parks lie in Clayoquot
Sound: the Long Beach Unit of Pacific
Rim National Park, and the southern portion of Strathcona
Provincial Park. Clayoquot
Wilderness Resort is located in the transition zone of the Biosphere Reserve
Area and governed by its environmental policies and spirit.
