Forests & Lakes

Discover towering cedar trees, forest wildlife, mushrooms, and the ecosystems that make BC forests unique.

What’s happening here

These spaces are closely connected.

Trees use sunlight and water to grow. Lakes collect and store water that supports plants and animals nearby.

On the forest floor, leaves and wood break down and become soil again.

It’s all part of one system—land and water working together.
