Ecology
Kennedy Island’s forests are exhibiting yellow cedar decline patterns common in coastal islands and lowland areas in North Coast Regional District.This decline is a significant ecological process affecting the island’s forest composition, reducing structural diversity in low-elevation forests, leaving standing dead trees that alter habitat for birds and mammals.
