Canadian Old Growth


In June I attended the biannual meeting of the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment in Victoria, British Columbia. This was a great excuse to visit some old-growth forests in Canada. Rick (Maloof) was able to travel with me and he took some great photographs (as usual). On the LONG bus ride to get to the forest we had a chance to visit with Simmons Buntin who has created an excellent electronic journal: Terrain.org. Please check out this link to see his journal and our contribution to it.

We found lots of otter sign, examined an active fox den (and a fox even showed itself across the field and held still until the whole class could see it through my binoculars), and confirmed my suspicions of a groundhog burrow. As soon as the bus pulled out a groundhog ran across the wharf. There is so much life here!
