British Columbia

British Columbia’s forests stretch from misty coastal rainforests to dry interior plateaus and up into alpine ridges, creating some of the most diverse ecosystems in Canada. Towering western redcedars, Douglas firs, and Sitka spruces dominate the coast, while ponderosa pines and trembling aspens shape the interior valleys. These trees nurture salmon streams, store immense carbon, and shelter ancient Indigenous territories. Together they remind us that in British Columbia, forests are more than scenery; they are a living web connecting ocean, mountain, and community.
