Welcome to the North Island -  Central Coast District

From the Nimpkish Valley on Vancouver Island in the south to Princess Royal Island in the north, the North Island - Central Coast Forest District stretches from the Pacific Ocean to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park over some of the most rugged and beautiful wilderness in British Columbia. It is the home of coastal temperate rainforest, rare wildlife and plant species and contains an abundance of other natural resources. 

The North Island - Central Coast District office is located in Port McNeill on Northern Vancouver Island.  With a field office located in the Bella Coola valley community of Hagensburg the Central Coast can be reached by Highway 20 from Williams Lake.  It can also be accessed by B.C. Ferries Discovery Coast Passage during the summer months and regular scheduled flights throughout the year.  It is remote, but becoming more well known globally due to land use planning such as the Central Coast Land and Resource Management Plan.
