Parksville and Errington (25 min north of Nanaimo) occupy a flat stretch of land between the ocean and the mountains. Right in the middle of this plain is Little Mountain, an aptly named mound of rock towering over the landscape. It has beautiful oceanview homes, and you can drive to a tower at the top, where there is a gorgeous mountainside view atop a series of dangerous cliffs. Be extremely careful, as the cliffs appear very suddenly, without warning, and the ground can be slippery - don't go exploring here in the dark!

The Land Conservancy of Canada concluded the acquisition of this 56 hectare property in 2000 at which time the RDN entered into a long-term lease to manage the lands as regional park and conservation area. In 2016, the property was transferred to The Nature Trust of British Columbia. The Regional District of Nanaimo continues to manage the park under the 99-year lease. The park is one of the few remaining natural forests along the lower reaches of the Nanaimo River and a good example of mature coastal Douglasfir ecosystem. A developed trail network provides walkers, cyclists, swimmers and nature lovers with lots of room to recreate in the woods and along the river; the south eastern portions of the park are dedicated to wildlife habitat.

We are a little farm based in Lantzville (ten minutes outside of Nanaimo) on the beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Our obsession with all things nature doesn’t stop with plants. We have opened up our homes and hearts to a wide range of miniature animals, that we love to share with the public during our visiting hours. Have you ever had the change to interact with a miniature cow? Now is your chance! We have donkeys, bunnies, mini-cows, mini-horses, mini-pigs, mini-goats, and a very fiesty but lovable goose named Lucky.
