These mountains are the most heavily mineralized mountains I have ever seen. We were literally picking up big chunks of iron and copper oxide, boulders of obsidian and crystals. One hillside we huffed up was covered almost entirely in geodes, many of which were broken open and shimmering in the sunlight. The result of all of this was visually spectacular, with every colour you can imagine, deep hues of reds, yellows, oranges, greens, purples, blacks and whites all mixed together with pockets of northern boreal old growth and deep turquoise alpine lakes.

A key goal of the Artists for Conservation Festival is to bring important conservation topics and research information to the forefront of the public awareness, providing general public and policy makers alike with the inspiration to learn more about important conservation issues. The shark fin ban in North Vancouver is a perfect example of how art and artists can be powerful communicators and effect positive change.
