Echo Heights : Prime for Development?

Or a cultural legacy for the community?
FILM BY HOLLY PATTISON

The District of North Cowichan could be facing court action from First Nations if it goes ahead with subdividing part of the 52-acre Echo Heights Forest in Coast Salish territory at Chemainus on Vancouver Island. This is filmmaker Holly Pattison's second film about the forest that biologists have said is a great example of "recovering" coastal Douglas fir with Garry oak meadows, ponds and extensive trail system created by the community over decades.
