I've always been inquisitive about where the food I eat comes from. I found some useful and informative links on local and organic food on Vancouver Island - enjoy!

So I am making a tentative plan to hike Cape Scott
I've done some minor research and it looks like June - September is the best time to plan a hike, due to the likelihood of a very muddy trail otherwise.
Here are some interesting tidbit facts on the Cape Scott area:
- Originally the Tlatlasikwala, Nakumgilisala and Yutlinuk natives occupied the area.
- Although there are fresh water sources, it is recommended that you boil all water you consume.
- Black bears and cougars are frequently seen and it is important that you know how to deal with a run in. Bear bells or pepper spray are a good idea.
- Holberg is the closest accessible town. En route to Cape Scott keep an eye out for the "Shoe Tree"
Depending on the weather conditions these are some different trails with different distances that you can hike.
