Photos: Mossome Grove & Port Renfrew in the Snow
/in Photo GallerySee photos from the magnificent Mossome Grove, standing hushed under a soft blanket of snow. The woods felt like a fairytale on this day, with glowing golden moss and flurries of soft snow drifting through shafts of sunlight.
This enchanting lowland ancient forest is home to towering old-growth Sitka spruce trees, ancient bigleaf maples, and wildlife such as deer, elk, wolves, cougars, and bears. Growing largely unprotected near Port Renfrew in Pacheedaht territory, it’s reminiscent of the majestic maple forests found in the Olympic National Park. Rare to begin with on Vancouver Island and virtually non-existent today, it was extra special to see this type of rainforest in a winter wonderland state
The scenes around Port Renfrew were equally as magnificent as the February cold snap turned the coastal landscape into a stunning winter wonderland.
The quest to protect old-growth forests in BC continues. Want to make a difference? Our new send-a-message campaign just launched—take a moment to send yours.
Thank you to our corporate matching donors!
/in Announcements, Thank YouWe’d like to take this opportunity to offer a special thank you to our Benevity donors!
The ability to receive vital funding through corporate matching programs, such as with Benevity, is another positive aspect of becoming a registered charity.
Corporate matching is when companies financially match employees’ donations to a specific charity, such as AFA. Many employers offer this as a way to prioritize and encourage corporate social responsibility. So, when an employee makes a donation, their employer will match it.
Increase your impact through your workplace and check with your HR team to see if your employer offers corporate matching today!
