Canada's Mossiest Rainforest

Submitted by Shannon Smart, 9 Feb 2012

This video, created by BC's Ancient Forest Alliance, showcases the mossy beauty of Mossy Maple Grove, a forest near Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island.

From the Forest Alliance: "This is the unprotected "Mossy Maple Grove", Canada's mossiest rainforest, a stand of enormous old-growth Bigleaf maple trees -- some as much as 2 meters (7 feet) wide in trunk diameter -- completely draped in hanging gardens of mosses and ferns... This is in the traditional territory of Cowichan Tribes who are part of the Hul'qumi'num Treaty Group.

Unlike other spotlighted old-growth forests in BC, this is an old-growth 'deciduous' or broad-leaf rainforest. This area has also been nicknamed "Fangorn Forest" after the forest in The Lord of the Rings."

You can find out more on Ancient Forest Alliance's website.
