THUJA PLICATA, 61M, EST. AGE 840Y
DISPATCH NO. 12 · APR 2026

Elphinstone Old Growth: a 900-year cedar, archived for provincial record.

The Shíshálh Nation needed a 1,240-acre grove visible to people who would never set foot in it. Over six weeks our field team co-produced the capture with their stewards. The deliverable: a full splat archive, two VR rooms toured to four hearings, an embedded viewer on their site, and a 90-second social cut that reached 2.1M plays. The grove now appears in provincial and federal Crown proceedings.

— BECOME A PARTNER

Have a forest, and an audience who needs to walk it?

We take on six to eight new partners per year. Priority goes to threatened groves, indigenous-led stewardship, and campaigns where an immersive deliverable will tip the scale — a hearing, a board vote, a project deadline, a press cycle.
