 Along the southwestern coast of Canada thrives a magnificent rainforest that stretches north to the boreal forest, south to the dry forests of California and east to the slopes of the Coast Mountains.
An abundance of moisture, rain, fog, mist and snow feeds this oasis of water and plant life. Endless shades of green blanket the ground and rise from the thick, knotted trunks of massive conifer trees to form a dense canopy above. In fact, is the dominance of conifer trees that sets this forest apartfrom the other temperate rainforest of the world.
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is a 51,000 hectare natural treasure located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and is a world unto itself.
