“A 405-hectare rainforest peninsula where thousand-year-old western red cedars meet the salt spray of the Pacific; the Seawall is a nine-kilometre loop of hand-laid stone protecting the forest from the Burrard Inlet; walk the western edge at dusk when the silhouettes of the totem poles at Brockton Point stand against a slate-grey sky; the air smells of brine and damp cedar mulch.”
