The Darkwoods Story
The lush valleys, rugged peaks, tumbling creeks, and deep lakes of British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains are both astoundingly beautiful and ecologically important. In the heart of this incredible mountain range lies a 136,000-acre (55,000-hectare) privately owned property known as Darkwoods.
Here, wildlife, including one of the last herds of Mountain Caribou in the world, finds refuge, and rare plants survive. NCC has secured Darkwoods in order to create a conservation legacy of global importance.
