Canada's Coastal Forests

Steve Backshall reveals why Canada's coastal forest is home to huge trees and some of the greatest aggregations of top predators in North America.

Steve Backshall pulls apart the pieces of Canada's remarkable coastal forest to reveal why this ancient sylvan environment is not only home to some of the largest trees on Earth, but also some of the greatest aggregations of top predators in North America.

In this complex coastal system, the secret to success comes in a remarkable annual event.
