A message from bud
Whether you are here to visit our parks or view our numerous waterfalls, hike on our mountain trails, hunt for edible mushrooms & plants, go on bear & whale tours, or kayak with the seals, the coast has the adventure you are looking for. Given our many spectacular rivers, lakes, valleys, mountains, inlets, and bays, along with our small population, you can see why so many outdoor enthusiasts choose to come back again and again!
So, take a cruise through the site, and discover the many phenomenal things Vancouver Island has to offer. Pick your adventure and head out to be amazed.
Hey Bud,
Sorry to hear of your setback. I sent you a few pennies. Wondering if you have any semi recent updates on road access to the Ash River trail and Oshinow lake (ie closed gates). Take er easy. Tim
Thanks Tim, not sure what you mean with the semi comment
Love the website! Love your art too! I am working on an eco landscaping business and your native plants list is the best i’ve found. Thank you
thanks
Thank you Bud, I just discovered your website and am so appreciative. Wishing you the best in all your challenges.

Hello Bud,
Just wanted to ask about the correct e-mail for donating – on your site it says direct deposit to ‘askbud@ymail.com’, is that meant to say gmail?
Thank you so much for this site. it’s been a great resource for the kids I teach, and for my own interests in the local flora and fauna. I hope recovery goes smoothly!
askbud@ymail.com is the correct email
