Geology of the North Shore

Join Geologist David Cook for a visual presentation about North Shore’s mountains!

The natural attributes of Vancouver make it one of the most beautiful cities in North America. Many have chosen it as their home on the basis of its magnificent setting. The jewel in the crown of that setting is the backdrop of spectacular mountains on the North Shore. We tend to think of those mountains as static, but in terms of geological time, the forces that created them are immense and have taken place over periods of time difficult for us to understand in relation to our short time on this Earth. This PowerPoint presentation will focus on that jewel and will attempt to put its genesis into perspective.

Old Growth Forests of the North Shore

Come learn about the North Shore’s old-growth forests and where to find them!

Biologist David Cook will explore what an old-growth forest is and  how it has very different ecology and structure to a second-growth forest. Learn where the remaining fragments of old-growth forest can be found on the North Shore as well as how those fragments survived logging, and why some isolated and lonely veteran trees were left when others were clear-cut. You’ll learn how to identify an old-growth forest and veteran trees!
