The Fraser Valley Bird checklist area encompasses the upper Fraser Valley, parts of the Fraser Canyon and the Skagit Valley. The western boundary starts at the Canada – US Border and follows Bradner Road in Aldergrove and the eastern boundaries of Golden Ears and Garibaldi Provincial Parks. The northern boundary encompasses much of the Nahatlatch River watershed and crosses Highway #1 at Hell’s Gate with the northeastern boundary being the northern end of the Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area. The boundary then goes straight south with the eastern boundary including all of Hope but stops at the eastern boundary of the Hope Slide at Sunshine Valley.
