The magnificent Western Red Cedar is perhaps the most important plant to the Salish people. Plant fossils show that a tree like Red Cedar has been growing around the northwest for as long as 50
million years. The Cedar tree is also anti-fungal and provides a solid resource for building legendary wood features on the North Shore.

The CEDAR partnership is NSMBA’s most coveted opportunity to collaborate, engage and customize. With top-level promotional offerings, a customized social/IRL campaign, the most popular trails up for adoption, the biggest event opportunities, and access to all customizable options.

The Coastal Mountains are mainly made up of granite. Granite is the most abundant rock in the continental crust and is exposed in many mountain ranges including the ones on the North Shore. It is a huge contributor when trail building as it holds the soil in place and provides a solid foundation for many trails.

Lichen is the Swiss army knife of the forest. Not only is lichen a food source for many species, but birds use it to build nests and it is a key indicator of a healthy forest. It also protects trees and rocks from extreme elements such as rain, wind, and snow which are prominent on the North Shore.

The LICHEN Partnership supports the trails and recognizes the importance of community, sustainability and maintenance. Like lichen, these partners are important for forest and trail health.
