Two overjoyed naturalists have made a thrilling discovery in North Cowichan: five old-growth trees estimated to be at least 250 years old.
Posted: Jan. 22, 2023 5:42PMStriding over moss and crackling branches, Larry Pynn and Bruce Coates hiked deep into a North Cowichan forest Sunday to show us their find.
“Jubilation and high fives and to think we could find something like this, it was really remarkable, and we think there may be more in the area,” said Pynn. That consultation ends later this month, so the naturalists hope this discovery will lead more people to want to protect this unique forest from harvesting.
