The Mossy Maple Rainforest is in the unceded territory of the Cowichan people, who are a part of the Hul’qumi’num First Nations group.
The “Mossy Maple Gallery” is a beautifully open, park-like stand of scattered giant maples, enormous cedars, and Douglas-firs growing on Crown lands near Mossy Maple Grove.
This area provides important habitat for elk, deer, wolves, cougars, and black bears (making it an important area for local hunters) and has dense thickets of the brutally spiny giant devil’s club. Efforts continue to ensure it is ultimately protected.
