Spend an hour in the forest
Did you know?
The type of rainshadow forest ecosystems we find here, are naturally rare on our planet. They are dominated by a unique combination of drought tolerant species such as Douglas-fir, Arbutus and Garry oak and only occupy a narrow band surrounding the Salish Sea and the Gulf Islands within it. There are more different kinds of plants and animals here than anywhere else in BC and more over-wintering bird species than anywhere else in Canada.
