The Malcolm Knapp Research Forest is located in the Coast Mountains, about 60 km from Vancouver, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. The forest is approximately 5,157 hectares (12,743 acres) and has many different types of terrain. The forest is home to some trees 400+ years old, though the vast majority of trees are 70–120 years old.
It was a site of major logging from the 1800s through to 1931, but was officially established as the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest in 1949 in recognition of major influence from the late UBC professor Malcolm Knapp, who was the first Registered Professional Forester in British Columbia. Although today it is dedicated to research and education, it is also a popular destination for public day-use trail hiking.
