Natural History Tour - Wetlands and Old Growth Forest |
|
Exploring the rich Mitchell River wetlands where plant and animal life abounds in this rare temperate interior rain forest that exists nowhere else on earth is like taking a walk back in history. Stand beside 1000 year old Western Red Cedar and get an insight into the great diversity of an old growth forest.
See it through the 'eyes of the forest'. Understand the importance of maintaining these ancient forests. Old growth forest is all that is left of the natural evolution of the earth. The wetlands provide habitat for numerous bird species. They are also one of the significant waterfowl staging areas in British Columbia. You may well see a variety of ducks, geese, trumpeter swans, blue herons, water ouesels, eagles and many more along with foraging moose, grizzly bears and other animal life.
One of the life's blood rivers of Quesnel Lake, the Mitchell River and it's tributary streams provide spawning, rearing and foraging habitat for the legendary wild trout. The river also provides one of the major spawning areas for sockeye salmon. View the "Lady of the Lake", a unique natural feature on the shores of Quesnel Lake, the deepest fjord lake on earth. Season - June to October.
