2005 - $20 Fine Silver Coin National Parks Pacific Rim - Tax Exempt

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada represents the coastal lowland forests of the Pacific Coast Mountain region, and the near shore waters of the Vancouver Island's shelf marine region. Imagine sand between your toes, eagles soaring overhead, ferns, and cushions of moss hanging from the branches of towering Sitka spruce, and the ocean stretching off as far as the eye can see. The cedarhemlock forest (composed of western redcedar and western hemlock trees) is found where the soil is relatively well drained, the air is protected from the ocean's salt wind, and humans have not caused significant disturbance.This is the forest that people most often picture when they think of Canada's temperate rainforest: ferns and moss hanging from branches, a jumbled understory of plants reaching for precious light, and the distinctive candelabra-like tops of western redcedar crowning the forest.
