Visit the rich wetlands of the Mitchell River and observe the waterfowl and wildlife in this unique ecosystem and riparian area. Study thousand year old Western Red Cedars, ancient lichens that only grow in forests that have reached an age of 250 years or more.

From spring late fall the abundance and diversity of the ever changing plant life is a rewarding study. From early spring lady slippers, solomon's seals, monkey flowers, the wild blueberries of summer and the last scarlet clusters of highbush cranberries in the autumn woodlands are fascinating. The sheer enjoyment of learning about the native flora and fauna is a memorable experience bringing you closer to the wild side of nature and life.
One thing is certain - the closer you look the more 'll see the beauty and intricacies of these plants from the thousand year old western red cedars in the old growth forest to the shrubs, mosses, liverworts, lichens, flowers and tiniest of plants. They all co-exist as part of this rare and unique interior ecosystem. Season - June through October. Minimum two guests.
