Walking among the Ancients: Honouring a rare old-growth forest. The Wabanaki-Acadian old-growth forest of Eastern North America is endangered with only 1 per cent left.


Naturalist Peter Rompkey stands in front of an estimated 300-year-old Yellow Birch hardwood tree in Nova Scotia. As indicated by its large, octopus leg-like roots above the ground, it probably grew out on an old rotting, ancient fallen log. The tree is covered by mosses and lichens. (Mary Lynk/CBC)
