We meet this week at the Community Hall in Gillies Bay at 10:00am to avoid the Sandcastle crowds.
Last week we hiked from Hydro East Road up through the forest and under the wires to the small lake near the top of the right of way.
My photo today is of a neat little plant that grows on the forest floor and flowers at this time of year. A couple of common names for it are Little Prince's Pride and Menzies Pipsissiwa and the scientific name Chimaphila menziesii. The distribution in BC is more or less restricted to Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland, but there are a few records of it being found north towards Prince Rupert.
