BC Parks is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The
first BC Park was Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island which was
officially created on March 1, 1911.
Today, the parks system in British Columbia is one of our
greatest resources. Currently 14.26% (13.5 million hectares) of
British Columbia's land base is protected. There are more than 340
campgrounds, 6000 km of hiking trails, 118 boat launches and 263
day-use areas in B.C.'s provincial park system.
BC Parks and the BC Geocaching Association are partnered along
with the Year of Science to invite you to explore BC Parks.
This is one of 100 caches placed in parks throughout BC. Each
cache will have a unique trackable geocoin available for the first
3 finders. There are also BC Parks trade items, BC Geocaching
Association buttons, and Year of Science pins.
There is a maximum of one coin per Geocaching account. Please
trade fairly for all items in the cache. If you have a coin from
another cache, please leave it for another cacher - you would want
them to do the same for you.

Smuggler Cove will inspire the imagination about long ago
pirates. It is a great destination for a Sunday afternoon boat ride
or you can access the area by land and enjoy a nice, mostly level
hike. The cache is a regular lock-n-lock about 20 feet off the main
path on a little trail - no bushwacking required.
|
There are activities going on in BC Parks all year to celebrate
this wonderful anniversary.
2011 is also the Year of Science in BC.
There are events and a collection of interesting stories about
people who chose Science.
