Qualicum Beach – The Wilderness Committee Mid Island is inviting the public to their 20th annual Qualicum Beach Earth Day tour to Canada's 3rd tallest Sitka Spruce tree along the banks of the Little Qualicum River, this Saturday, April 20 at 1:00 pm.
“Over the years, this grand 60-hectare Coastal Douglas-fir forest has been referred to as the Qualicum Beach Salmon Forest, as the forest protects the water in the river for the annual migration of all 7 species of salmon as well as the important role of providing the drinking water for the Town of Qualicum Beach and the community of Dashwood, explains Annette Tanner, organizer of the tour.
“We are especially happy this year to have invited documentary film maker, Richard Boyce, www.vancouverislandstories.ca as our guest Earth Day tour guide,” continues Tanner.
Location: The approximate 2-hour tour will meet at the Faye Smith Memorial View Point beside the beach at the foot of Crescent Rd. West and the Old Island Highway at 1:00 pm. By donation and please wear good foot gear. Info: 250-752-6585.
