Tweet

Summer is not over yet! There is still a chance to visit the Avatar Grove’s giant gnarly trees with the AFA’s Ken Wu and TJ Watt before the wet weather hits the west coast again!
 
Schedule:
 
1. Meet in Port Renfrew at the Tourist Info Centre at 1:30 pm (The Info Centre is on the right-hand side of the road beside the Real Goods Market about 1km into town) ***When you arrive PLEASE watch to see where parking is being directed to a gravel overflow parking area on the opposite side of the road as there will be many people participating in this trip and we need to leave spaces open for the local businesses. Thank you!
2. Leave the Info Centre head to the Avatar Grove in a convoy
3. Hike the Avatar Grove and finish by 4:00 pm
