Sonora Island & the Great Bear Rainforest: Protecting What Remains

Sonora Island is the ‘tail-end’ of the Great Bear Rainforest (or depending on your orientation, it’s the head of the Great Bear).  It’s around 160 square kilometers of primarily mountainous terrain, and mostly under forest cover. Homes are sporadically located along its coastline with access by boat and floatplane only. It’s part of unceded aboriginal traditional territories of three First Nations.

PHOTO GALLERY: Avatar Grove Boardwalk Construction Begins

See GREAT PHOTOS of the initial phase of the boardwalk's construction. It has begun! Over the May Long Weekend, construction began on the initial phase of the Avatar Grove Boardwalk! As thousands of visitors continue to flock to see the Avatar Grove, the boardwalk is needed to protect its ecological integrity, ensure visitor safety, and help promote eco-tourism for the Pacheedaht First Nations and the town of Port Renfrew to see the economic benefits of keeping one of the last old-growth forests in their region standing.

Andy MacKinnon

The rock star of botanists

ANDY MACKINNON'S flair for blending scientific detail with humour has helped his six co-written books collectively sell more than 500,000 copies. Plants of Coastal British Columbia alone has sold more than 250,000 copies - an astounding number for a book about green shoots in a country where selling 5,000 copies qualifies a book as a bestseller...Ken Wu, executive director of the Ancient Forest Alliance, calls MacKinnon the rock star of B.C. botanists and the most knowledgeable person in the province on old-growth forest ecology.
