Wildlife and Topography on Gabriola Island

Gabriola topography is incredible.  The island offers a wide variety from forests to beaches, to rock cliffs and rugged shores.  Plant life is abundant and at this time of the year it is very green here.  There are a variety of old growth cedars, hemlock, elder and maple trees.  The arbutus tree is one of my favorites.  There are also plenty of bright floral splashes now as there are still some rhodo's in bloom.
Gabriola Island is home to a number of different wildlife and animals.  So far we have seen several Bald Eagles, hummingbirds, robins, blue heron, black-tailed deer, star fish, oysters, sea lions and seals.
