In Photos: AFA & EEA Field Day at Mossome Grove

Jan 20 2026/in Photo Gallery

The enchanting Mossome Grove (short for “mossy and awesome”) continues to live up to its name! 🌲🌿

Located near Port Renfrew in Pacheedaht territory, this lowland old-growth forest is home to an array of wildlife, including Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer, black bears, wolves, and cougars — yet remains largely unprotected today.

At this time of year, the grove offers a vibrant contrast to the often grey scenes of winter, with ancient Sitka spruce and bigleaf maples draped in lush green moss and ferns!

These cool, rain-soaked months create ideal conditions for moss and ferns to flourish, especially in the moist shade of intact old-growth forests.

Here on the BC coast, bigleaf maples in particular can harbour enormous amounts of moss on their branches thanks to their calcium-rich bark — one of five key minerals that moss needs to grow.

Check out the gallery below for photos from a recent field day with AFA and EEA!
