On Monday we had our Easter supper. We ate tasty ham and delicious Nanaimo bars, which I learned how to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As rainy days are the best for long drives, my new friends and I left on a road trip to the west coast. After a few hours of bumpy roads, crossing crystal blue rivers, and a general idea of our destination, we arrived in the traditional territory of the Pacheedaht First Nation. I was lucky that my friend had an idea of where it was located and that she was driving a jeep. We nearly turned back because the trail was not easily accessible and was rough. We saw little spray-painted trees and hearts along the way, that guided us to our destination. We followed these signs for awhile until arriving at a peaceful forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we arrived at Eden Grove, a forest with trees between 500-1000 years old! In my first blog, I said that I wanted to visit Cathedral Grove, but Eden Grove was even better. We observed giant Douglas-firs and western redcedars. We were alone in the forest, since almost nobody knows the exact location of this site. These trees were gigantesque, and I could hardly believe what an amazing opportunity it was to see the last few trees that still existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Eden Grove, I met Big Lonely Doug. This tree is a symbol of the disappearing old-growth forest of British Columbia. Big Lonely Doug is one of the survivors of deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent the second part of the day at a beach called Botanical Beach. It is a geological wonder, and it is incredible to think about all the species living there in many tide pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
