Photo: BC Old Growth Forest Cathedral Grove
The old growth throughout the forest in Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, BC is where thousands of visitors go on a yearly basis to explore.
Take the trails through Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, BC where you can witness a forest of stunning old growth. This rainforest growth has trees that are over nine meters around and have been growing for hundreds of years.
On the fallen trees, moss has blanketed the bark as ferns and an assortment of plants fill the forest around these gigantic beauties. Some trees have been been taken down by ferocious wind storms that have whipped through Cathedral Grove giving way to more light for the remaining forest trees. Logging companies have tried and succeeded in some areas of MacMillan Provincial Park to have trees cut down, but years of protests have saved much of Cathedral Grove. Nature is one thing when bringing trees down, but human interference is unacceptable.
Other residents throughout the old growth forest are wildlife species such as woodpeckers, owls, reptiles, deer, elk, cougars and black bear. ... continue below the picture...
