Welcome

We’re a nature interpretive centre overlooking the Cowichan Estuary, a 400 hectare estuarine ecosystem and internationally designated Important Bird Area (IBA), in the unceded and traditional territory of the Quw’utsun People. Our centre offers opportunities for visitors of all ages to learn about the estuary, Cowichan Bay, and the Cowichan and Koksilah watersheds through informative interactive exhibits and fun hands-on activities. There’s a lot to see both inside and outside the centre, including a live camera to view the heron rookery.
