Valens Brook Nature Reserve Expanded by Land Donation

environment · March 28, 2019 · Valens Brook Nature Reserve, Denman Island

Ecologists Luise Hermanutz and David Innes have donated nearly three hectares (six acres) of land to expand the Valens Brook Nature Reserve on Denman Island. The addition protects Valens Brook, a salmon-bearing creek, and contributes to conservation efforts in the Coastal Douglas-fir region. The donation was made through BC's Land Title Act Section 99 and Environment Canada's Ecological Gifts Program.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
