British Columbia's west coast vegetation is characterized by lush temperate rainforests, home to towering conifers like Douglas fir, western redcedar, and Sitka spruce, which thrive in the region's moist, mild climate. The forest floor is often carpeted with a rich underbrush of ferns, salal, and mosses, with large leafy specimens of broadleaf maple and red alder providing a deciduous contrast to the evergreens.
First settled by Duncan McMillan in 1885, who named this new settlement after Errington, a small village in England's Northumberland County.
