Canadian Temperate Rainforest - In this TORCH we will explore through authentic inquiry-based learning-research activities the incredible coastal temperate rain forests of British Columbia Vancouver Island's "Wild West Coast". July is usually a time of beautiful weather, frequently clear skies. The Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve is composed of the largest intact virgin rainforest in southern British Columbia, inland seaways, fiords and an incredibly rich marine environment. Towering cedar trees, several salmon species, wolves, bears, eagles, grey, humpback and orca whales typify the region. Experimental logging defined by some as sustainable practices are being employed in the area now. We will visit with the First Nations and Anglo-Canadian communities whose lives are fundamentally dependent on the sustainable management of the regions still relatively intact watershed. Our course partners with Hesquiaht First Nations and NGO's in Clayoquot Sound. We will be tent-camping and staying in a traditional Nuu-Chah-Nulth Hesquiaht Longhouse. At the longhouse we will be hosted by the Charelsen family of Hesquiaht First Nations. Our days are filled with field work, our evenings include lively powerpoint lectures, films, seminars, text-based discussions of inquiry-based scientific learning, traditional ecological knowledge, expeditionary learning, team development models, global environmental change.
