Situated outside the South-east corner of the Plaza of Nations, a selection of native British Columbian flora was planted to create a natural forest setting.  Complete with tall evergreens and trout filled streams, visitors could get a glimpse of  British Columbia's wilderness while waiting to visit the B.C. pavilion.  Some surprises within the Rain Forest included totem poles and a cross-section of a 2,500 year old tree which had labeled on it's growth rings earth's history dating back to the Roman Empire.
