Photo: Moss Covered Branches Fall Forest Picture

Thick green moss covers the branches of a tree during fall in the rainforest of Goldstream Provincial Park, with the red and yellow leaves in the background getting ready to fall from the tree. Goldstream Provincial Park is located in Victoria on the southern part of Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

... Moss loves damp and shady locations, so that is why when you are walking through a rainforest biome, you will be bound to see many different types of moss.
Goldstream Provincial Park is a natural habitat and it is left untouched for everyone to enjoy, so moss can grow there undisturbed. It is a real treat to take a walk through the park, especially during the salmon runs or during the Bald Eagle feeding times. The park is dedicated to environmental conservation, as it contains some of the biggest and oldest trees on the island. Don't forget to look up though as you walk or you will miss interesting views such as this one.
