Vancouver Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The northern, western, and most of the central portions of the island are home to the coniferous "big trees" associated with British Columbia's coast — hemlock, western red cedar, amabilis fir, yellow cedar, Douglas-fir, grand fir, Sitka spruce, and western white pine. |
 | | It is also characterised by broadleaf maple, red alder, sword fern, and red huckleberry. |
 | | The fauna of Vancouver Island is similar to that found on the mainland coast, with some notable exceptions and additions. |
