Taylor’s Checkerspot Butterfly

Taylor’s checkerspot is a small, orange, black and white checkered butterfly that was formerly common on BC’s south-coast. It was once found from Vancouver Island as far south as California but today is only known to live and breed in two locations in British Columbia, and a few locations in Washington and Oregon.

Beavers

Denman Conservancy works to protect natural areas that provide habitat for climate heroes like beavers. Many of Denman Island’s protected places feature wetlands, and many of these wetlands are maintained through the activities of beavers.
