Descripción
Wildwood Bluffs is the best place to observe birds and large wildlife around Powell River. The site is very diverse, making it interesting year-round. As of the present date (end of 2025), a total of 189 bird species have been recorded. In spring and fall, be aware that there may be many bears present. Keep your distance.
In spring, a small colony of Lazuli Bunting nests in the meadows, which are a migration hotspot. Many buntings also nest here or stop over briefly. The forests are very species-rich, and the only known colony of American Redstart on the South Coast is found here in the secondary forests near the entrance.
The bluffs overlooking the sea attract species usually associated with dry habitats, such as flycatchers, vireos, and warblers, but can also be a good spot for migrants.
A small wetland hidden in the vegetation north of the grasslands adds diversity and is a good place to find rails or locally rare species such as Swamp Sparrow, Marsh Wren, or occasionally waders.

Accesso
The Wildwood Bluffs are located just north of Powell River, at the top of the hill after the bridge, the site is accessed from the main road, on the left after the Wildwood Pub. Parking is available just before the entrance, or in the Italian Club car park, about 100 metres past the entrance on the left. Press P on the map for directions.
The Wildwood Bluffs are private property, but the owners tolerate walkers. A sign at the entrance reminds you that the owners are not responsible for you or your belongings, but that you are welcome to visit. The circular walking route shown on the map is about 3 km.
