The Ancient Forest Alliance founders Ken Wu and TJ Watt are offering a by-donation nature hike of the rare Coastal Douglas Fir ecosystem on the campus, a small portion of which is original old-growth.
Victoria Natural History Society president Darren Copley and Royal BC Museum collections manager Claudia Copley will also be on hand to discuss the flora and fauna of the 565-acre property, which holds the second largest Douglas fir tree in Greater Victoria.
The tour runs from the Cedar building, from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 27. Park near the Mews Conference Centre.
