IN-PERSON PROGRAM  

The local coastal rainforest is made up of three key tree species – Coastal Western Hemlock, Douglas Fir, and Western Red Cedar. Together, and along with a huge diversity of shrubs and herbs, they create a complex understory, midstory and canopy that support incredible wildlife. Have you had the chance to meet and really get to know these iconic species? To touch them, smell them, identify them, and to know the species they support (including us humans)? Did you know that Western Hemlock needles are great sources of vitamin C? Or that bats roost in the Douglas Fir’s furrowed bark? Come for a relaxed walk with SPES Educator Anna Bondartchouk to get to know the trees that we love and value!
