The reserve harbours seven Species at Risk and was acquired in 2018 through an anonymous donation honouring a long-time Salt Spring family.

No cycling-specific infrastructure (bike parking, water, washrooms) is mentioned anywhere on the reserve page or subpages — these facilities appear absent from the reserve itself, though the operator's office contact details are clearly listed. The OSM community tag says 'Sidney' but the reserve and its operator are on Salt Spring Island, which is a geographic discrepancy.","concerns":["OSM community tag is 'Sidney' but the reserve and its operator are located on Salt Spring Island — possible mis-assignment in the community field.","Address and phone populated from the operator's office (Salt Spring Island Conservancy, 265 Blackburn Road) — these are not the reserve's own coordinates or a visitor facility address.","No bike parking, washrooms, or potable water mentioned anywhere on the reserve page; reserve may lack visitor infrastructure entirely."],"recommended_status_reason":"The reserve is a legitimate public attraction with easy walking trails that a touring cyclist might visit, but none of the three required WWC criteria (bike parking, water refill, washrooms) can be confirmed from the website or OSM tags.
