In the past few years third year field trips have taken place to Vancouver Island, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Florida and Arizona, as well as other closer to home venues. Students enjoy lunch on the beach in Pacific Rim National Park, listening to a talk by the University of Victoria's Dr. Dave Duffus on marine geography. Departing into Clayoquot Sound for a whale watching expedition, students on the Vancouver Island field trip get a first hand view of this beautiful and endangered waterway. MacMillan-Bloedel representatives discuss clearcutting on Vancouver Island. The effects of such practices are seen in the background.
