University of Northern B-C forests expert Darwyn Coxson says the newly-created Ancient Forest provincial park east of Prince George is the location of the world's only known inland temperate rainforest. Coxson says if a person was dropped blindfolded among the forest's thousand-year-old cedars, he would think he was on B-C's coast. (Coxson says the area's ancient cedars were slated for logging until residents and First Nations started raising concerns.)
