HURFORD HILL NATURE PARK

The Hurford Hill Nature Park was generously donated to the City of Courtenay in 1996 by long-time Valley residents Robert and Adela Smith with the intent that it be maintained as a nature park. A conservation covenant registered on the title held by the CVLT protects it in perpetuity. This 10.7-hectare park is home to many native plant and animal species, provides a critical link along the Valley View Greenway, and protects important salmon spawning and rearing habitats in Glen Urquhart Creek.
