About The Great Bear Rainforest
The Great Bear Rainforest is a world-renowned natural treasure, spanning 6.4 million hectares along British Columbia's northern and central coast. It is the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest remaining on Earth. In this mystical place, ancient trees tower above while lush, green foliage teems with life below. Rivers run through the landscape, teeming with salmon, and the air is alive with the calls of countless bird species.
The Great Bear Rainforest is also home to a variety of wildlife, including grizzly bears, black bears, and the iconic Spirit Bear, a unique subspecies of black bear with white fur. This region is not just a wilderness; it's a vibrant, living entity, a testament to the enduring power of nature.
