Cost: $45 per person
Maximum Capacity: 40 participants
Embark on a fascinating field trip to rare inland forest, Chun T’oh Whudujut, about 120 km east of Prince George, where you’ll explore British Columbia’s only inland temperate rainforest, where thousand-year-old western red cedars soar overhead. Wander along a universal-access boardwalk and a 2.3 km trail that passes the awe-inspiring “Big Tree” and a tranquil waterfall. This ecosystem exists within a distinct fire regime, driven by cool, moist conditions and heavy snowpack, unlike the nearby boreal forest, which is adapted to frequent, high-intensity crown fires every 50–200 years that reset entire stands.
