In the 100-year woods.
Two large second growth Douglas Firs stand on the edge of a younger stand of Firs. The younger stand may have grown in a clearing (for a field for livestock grazing, or extensive gardens, it’s not clear) made by settlers in the early part of the 20th century. This once-cleared area is lined by these large second growth Firs.

Starting by the historic barn and wandering down through (and once over) old growth to the tallest trees in the world at Tall Trees. All the details and so many more pictures of big trees are here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2024/08/dolason-prairie-and-tall-trees.html

I made it out to the old growth redwoods and late in the day I could even feel those big trees getting ever bigger! And there was even a rhododendron remaining along the Rhododendron Trail this late in the season.

All the details are in the blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2024/08/big-tree-and-rhododendron-trail-to.html

An enormous #OldGrowth #cedar #tree has been identified in #VancouverIsland ’s #ClayoquotSound possibly dating back over a millennium. The western #RedCedar reaches a towering height of 46 metres and stands five metres wide at its base.

It is currently the sixth largest redcedar in #Canada - according to the #BCBigTreeRegistry 🌲

#Protecting #bigtrees for #wildlife also benefits climate, says study. #Largetrees offer major solutions to the #climate and #biodiversity crisis that are needed now. As President Biden calls for protecting #mature and #oldgrowth #trees on #Federallands, the study describes synergies between protecting these disproportionately valuable large trees and #forest #resilience goals, providing common solutions for these urgent challenges. #ClimateCrisis #forests #trees https://phys.org/news/2023-04-big-trees-wildlife-benefits-climate.html

This is absolutely stunning. Give it 15 minutes. https://emergencemagazine.org/film/the-forest-beyond/

I was there... and I still can't believe how big this tree is. This is the widest "officially known" coastal redwood. #redwood #coastalredwood #bigtrees

“ 52. Up a tree 2 – 52Frames redo ”

The first time I did the Shoot from Below challenge I only had my cell phone and I commented that I should redo it when the sky had more color and I had my "real" camera...so the Re-do challenge had me revisiting the Logan Oak. #upatree #bigtreesohio #oaktrees #shootfrombelo

This enormous Pohutukawa is in Sunset View Rd, Panmure. It has a great view of the Panmure Basin. It was covered in red flowers a month ago so a little early. They call it the New Zealand Christmas tree. The house next to it is dwarfed.

The Hollyburn Fir is almost 1,100 years old.

This old-growth Douglas-fir giant measures 3 m in diameter and 44 m in height.

It’s reached by a short mountainside hike near Vancouver. 🌲
