Sundew
Giant man-eating extraterrestrials? No, but you got the carnivorous part right. Tiny, insect chomping Sundew inhabit swamps and bogs, attracting bugs and keeping them interested with sticky secretions.
Not only well-adapted to dissolving gnats, indigenous peoples of the coast put sundew to work dissolving corns and warts much like a product from Dr. Scholls.
While Europeans considered the sundew to be a potent potion when fishing for romance, the Haida summoned its powers to reel in the really, big ones.

Canoeing
There's only one canoeing trip included in BC Car-Free but what a trip it is! Spend a weekend, a week or even longer exploring the ring of lakes and portages collectively known as the Powell Forest Canoe Route. Best of all: reach this paddling paradise using existing transportation infrastructure.
