The volunteers at the Morrell Nature Sanctuary have produced a richly illustrated Guidebook. It is now available and can be purchased for $10 from the main office at the Sanctuary. Proceeds will go to support the wonderful life and learning opportunities which this forest and lake provide to the public. ​

It's what most of us know, sense or intuitively feel when we're in the forest:

In British Columbia, we are fortunate to have access to numerous forests, some with ancient, towering cedar and fir trees. In Nanaimo, the Morrell Nature Sanctuary is an easily accessible, urban forest on land which was purchased by Bill Morrell and donated to Nature Trust for all to enjoy.  It is rich with biodiversity and ever-shifting light, depending on the time of day or season. In rain or shine, this Sanctuary is good for your health!

We are excited to create a new website and blog for the Morrell Nature Sanctuary.
​We're hoping this blog will stimulate others to write about their impressions of the park, and perhaps some suggestions for making this wonderful sanctuary even better. Thank you for visiting us!
