What an enormous bracket fungus growing over our Redwood Meadow sign! Can anyone confirm from this angle if this is Red Belted Polypore? We'd need a ladder to get a picture from the top!

Red-belted Polypore (Fomitopsis mounceae) is named after mycologist Irene Mounce born in Union, BC (now called Cumberland) in 1894.

If your Summer has been busy and a long quiet walk sounds good, try the Maple Trail.

Our awesome camp counsellor Nicole shared these images showing just how small and camouflaged Western Toadlets can be! Toadlets can be about the size of a dime and blend in perfectly with the dirt and gravel.

Please be very, very careful if you go near the lake this month.
