Informally called the Vancouver Island Paleo-Reserve by staff at the Greene Foundation. This unique temperate rainforest ecosystem is a protected reserve, that serves as home to several prehistoric species as an experiment by Thaddeus Greene to see if prehistoric creatures brought to the present through his Time Portals could thrive in climates other than that of the tropical West Florida Keys.

The island also became home to Aidan Briggs where he lived amongst a family of dinosaurs for his first 16 years.
