A remnant giant from the ancient forest. I walk the forest paths. Often these are just deer trails my dogs have found. Sometimes there are treasures on these trails. This is the largest “wild” (not protected, not in a park or other set-aside) tree I’ve ever found. It’s a mystery to me why this giant was left standing when neighbours were felled. That was 100 years ago, so no one to ask. Instead of knowing, I stand in awe. This tree may be 700-1000 years old. Rare for Douglas Firs in this region. #trees #ancientforest #oldgrowth #vancouverisland #treasure
