Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park

M𐞥uqʷin/Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park is a large, remote, undeveloped protected area on Vancouver Island’s west coast that preserves the Brooks Peninsula and the Brooks-Nasparti addition. Established as a recreation area in 1986, it became a Class A provincial park in 1995 and received its present name in 2018 under the guidance of the Che:k'tles7et'h' peoples. Its rugged fjords, sandy beaches, old-growth forests, mountains, estuaries, and major watersheds support high biodiversity. The peninsula’s glacial history gives it special scientific importance, as peaks in the Refugium Range remained above the ice and sheltered distinctive plant communities. The park also lies within the traditional territory of the Kyuquot/Cheklesahht and Quatsino First Nations.
