HomeThings to DoSafe Haven: B.C.’s Inland Rainforest Film and Presentation

Step into an ancient world… right here in British Columbia and explore the magic of one of Earth’s few remaining inland temperate rainforests. Safe Haven: The Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness, an award-winning film by Damien Gillis and Valhalla Wilderness Society, highlights a globally significant temperate rainforest near Revelstoke, B.C. The film is a culmination of eight years of devotion to protecting the forest of the Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness as a new park, and a call to action for British Columbians to support the campaign.

In this 30-minute film, journey into the Rainbow-Jordan Wilderness through the eyes of people who have come to know and love it intimately. Discover an ancient forest, home to trees up to 2,000 years old and a diverse array of flora and fauna.

The film will be followed by a presentation by Valhalla Wilderness Society (VWS) biologist and campaigner Amber Peters, with stunning photography from eight years of expeditions.
