“Loon Lake: the difference between a forest at the end of the road and a destination for enquiry, learning and healing”

UBC Faculty of Forestry proposes to replace an aging and undersized dining hall and kitchen situated at the Loon Lake facility at the Malcolm Knapp Research Forest (MKRF) in Maple Ridge.

Loon Lake then: From humble beginnings… Originally built in 1949

“The heart of every home is the kitchen…” Sadie Hall, the original dining facility

“… where everyone meets after a day of adventure” The Dining Hall today

Upgrade and expansion of the dining hall is critical to the success of the MKRF in meeting its research, education, and self-supporting mandates. Loon Lake is a Community retreat facility for adventure, business, and learning Experiential outdoor education programs for practitioners, university and K-12 Everyone from local youth to visitors from around the world experience our forest at Loon Lake
