Monday, Dec. 5th: SEE BC’s MOST UNIQUE OLD-GROWTH FOREST! AFA Photo Journey & Fundraiser

DATE: Monday, Dec. 5th

TIME: 7:00-8:30 pm
LOCATION: Ambrosia Center, 638 Fisgard St. near Douglas St.

Ancient Forest Friends,

We are excited to finally share with you the latest, incredible old-growth stand that we’ve come across: the “MOSSY MAPLE RAINFOREST”!

This spectacular forest on Vancouver Island near Cowichan Lake includes the incredible “Mossy Maple Grove”, a…stand of enormous bigleaf maple trees – some as much as 2.5 meters (8 feet) wide – completely draped in hanging gardens of mosses and ferns.

Unlike other spotlighted old-growth forests in BC that have all been “coniferous” or needle-leaf trees (spruce, fir, cedar, etc.), 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.

Please join us MONDAY, Dec. 5th  from 7-8:30pm at the Ambrosia Centre for the SLIDESHOW & FUNDRAISER and a chance to see un-released photos from a second area nearby, the “Mossy Maple Gallery”, as well as of the Mossy Maple Grove, and to learn about this unique ecosystem and how you can help protect it!
