The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has drafted a proposal for an amendment that would add 49 hectares in the Avatar Grove area as an old growth management area (OGMA), and an additional 10.4 hectares in nearby Axe Creek, making them both off-limits to logging.

On display will be nearly a dozen 24”x36” prints, a range of smaller prints, and a few select framed works. Featured images will range from Canada’s biggest trees, to coastal landscape views and lush forest scenes, as well as new UNRELEASED images from one of the most stunning and unique forests on Vancouver Island!
