Bella Coola Estuary Conservancy
The Bella Coola Estuary Conservancy is a protected BC Parks area where the Bella Coola River meets the North Bentinck Arm, forming one of the coast's richest estuarine habitats. The area supports grizzly bears, trumpeter swans, Barrow's goldeneyes, and five species of juvenile salmon, making it a compelling wildlife-watching destination for touring cyclists in the Bella Coola Valley. It is an undeveloped conservancy with no built visitor infrastructure.
