Cal Revelle Nature Sanctuary is in the Highlands, one of thirteen communities of the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This nature sanctuary is located on southern Vancouver Island. Border by private property on eight of its nine sides, the Cal Revelle Nature Sanctuary abuts the Gowlland-Tod Provincial Park to the west and northwest. The sanctuary, named after a former councilor of the Highlands, includes Garry Oak, Douglas Fir, Arbutus and meadow lands with moss covered rocks in its sixty eight hectares. The area has old logging trails from the activity of early settlers in early nineteen hundreds. There is a minimal trail into the nature sanctuary with exception to the school-based weather station on a 221 meter tall hill. This is great place to start a walk along the roadways in your back yard. The trail that parallels along Old Mossy Road leads the pathways of Hazlitt Creek Park. Please respect this nature sanctuary with its unique habitat.
