Saturna Island
Aug. [August] 20-27, 1954:
I have worked along the entire length
of the Island on its west side. For most
of the way the coast is rocky, with bluffs
or cliffs to 400 feet. The cliffs are
highest near Crocker Point and the northern
tip of the Island, adjacent to Boat passage,
is of low elevation and supports at least
two farms. Elsewhere along this coast there
is farmland at Campbell's Bay, Taylor Bay
and Monarch Head.
The woods on the bluff areas have a
Douglas fir, Garry Oak, Madrone, Juniperus
scopulorum climax and an understory dominated
by red honeysuckle.
On the alluvial land alders and broad
leaved maple are succeeded by Douglas fir,
cedar and Grand fir. Shrubs include rose,
shepherdia, hawthorn, salal.
In the logged land, bramble and ocean
spray are abundant along with bracken.
