Morrell Sanctuary is 111 hectares of preserved second growth forest with 11 kilometers of walking trails.

Last logged in the twenties, Morrell Nature Sanctuary is a privately owned nature reserve leased and managed by Morrell Sanctuary Society for Environmental Education, a not-for-profit organization managed by volunteers who maintain the park and organize many programs for school children and the general public and are supported solely by donations, membership fees and, in the past, a gaming grant from the BC Provincial Government. With conservation in mind, William Morrell, a local contractor, donated this land in 1973 for the public's enjoyment.

Morell Nature Sanctuary is connected to the Westwood Lake park trail system.
