Spreading Invasive Species:
Every one of us in BC can play our part to stop the spread of invasive species and protect our province. When you’re recreating in Parksville Qualicum Beach, follow these simple steps to help prevent the spread of invasive species.

  • Arrive with clean gear;
  • Stay on designated trails and keep your pets on the trail;
  • Remove plants and seeds from your boots and gear before leaving trails

When visiting parks and trails in the area, there may be areas that are closed to help prevent the transmission of invasive species. Be sure to obey all signage and keep out of restricted areas.  By being mindful and practicing these simple steps, outdoor recreationalists can stop the spread of invasive species and protect our valuable natural resources. 
Boats and other watercraft, including kayaks and canoes, easily and frequently carry invasive species from one body of water to another. These aquatic invaders are entering BC’s beautiful lakes, streams, and wetlands. Boaters, anglers and paddlers can all take action now to help stop the spread by practicing Clean Drain Dry. As individual recreationists, marinas, and stewardship groups, we can all help to reduce the spread of harmful aquatic invasive species such as Zebra and Quagga mussels, Largemouth bass, and Eurasian watermilfoil.
When transferring your watercraft from one body of water to another: 
CLEAN – Inspect and clean plants, animals and mud from watercraft, trailer and gear.
DRAIN – Drain all water from your watercraft, trailer and gear (e.g. buckets, well, bilge, ballast etc.)
DRY – Dry all parts of your watercraft, trailer, and gear completely between trips

Parksville Qualicum Beach Pledge

As a visitor, I recognize that I am a guest in a place with deep cultural heritage, thriving ecosystems, and communities and animals that call this land and sea home.

I commit to travelling with respect, care, and intention — leaving the destination better than I found it.
As a guest here I pledge to:

  • Respect the land, water, and wildlife — leaving no trace.
  • Honour local culture — listening, learning, and asking before taking photos.
  • Support the community — choosing local food, guides, and makers.
  • Tread lightly — conserving water, energy, and travelling slowly.
  • Give back — leaving this place better than I found it.

I travel with gratitude, care, and respect — to honour this place as it thrives for generations to come.

Don’t stop here!
