British Columbia mainland coastal forests (WWF ecoregion)

The British Columbia mainland coastal forests is a temperate coniferous forest ecoregion of the Pacific coast of North America. The ecoregion extends along the mainland coast of British Columbia, up to 150 km inland to the crest of the coastal mountains, and along the western front of the northern Cascade Range in northwestern Washington. An exclave of the ecoregion occupies the eastern slope of the Olympic Mountains on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
