The Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area protects a large forested ecosystem on the slopes of Burnaby Mountain, which rises to about 370 metres above the surrounding city and overlooks Burrard Inlet and the Lower Mainland. The area has long been used by Coast Salish peoples and was first logged in the early 1900s before becoming a popular hiking destination in the 1920s and an official park in 1957.
Today the conservation area spans hundreds of hectares of coastal forest filled with Douglas fir, western red cedar, and hemlock, with a network of trails used by hikers and mountain bikers.
