Big Lonely Doug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world. Found along the Pacific Circle Route, between #PortRenfrew & Lake #Cowichan - in the Gordon River valley range. It's surrounded by clearcuts. You can't miss seeing it because it stands out, amongst the ecocide.

A proposed development for a private property on Admirals Road will result in the removal of 33 #GarryOak trees. The #Esquimalt #Climate Organizers have started a petition to prevent this from happening.

This petition asks the #EsquimaltCouncil to deny the current #development permit for the property and require it to be redesigned to allow for the #preservation of the Garry Oak and #DouglasFir #ecosystem. The removal of these #trees would have a large negative impact on #habitat and hydrology for the community, and will require 66 #replacement trees elsewhere as per Esquimalt’s #TreeProtection bylaw.

Please sign the #petition

#Douglasfir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)[4] is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae. It is the tallest tree in the Pinaceae family.[5] It is native to western North America and is also known as Douglas-fir,[6] Douglas spruce,[7] Oregon pine,[8] and Columbian pine.[9

Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

In the distance, the 100-year forest. In the foreground, what’s left when a strip of that forest is felled, yarded, hauled, and most of what’s left is heaped into 4-metre high piles. All of that happened less than 12 months ago. In the next season the forest’s renewal will become evident. In the meantime, there’s a scar. And my memories of stillness, deer, bear, and big Douglas Firs.

A sunlit path through the 100-year forest.
The North Georgia Plain was once a “loggers paradise.“ Large swaths of even-aged Douglas Fir stood where a large wildfire had raged in the 1600s. By 1940, the larger portion of this “paradise” was felled, yarded, boomed, and towed to mills on the Fraser River. Cleared of stumps and slash that paradise made way for farms. Wherever the forest returned, it was being cut a second time once it reached 50+ years. Only in small corners, or in strips along creeks or at the edge of farm fields, and the rare park, is the 100-year forest becoming itself.
These trees lie in one of those farm strips. A small salmon-bearing creek runs through it. A local elementary school created this trail. In the later fall, when the summer drought is washed away by the rains, teachers bring their classes here. They might learn how the forest and the salmon nourish each other.

Seeing the Fungi for the Trees https://www.biographic.com/seeing-the-fungi-for-the-trees/

Global hotspots of mycorrhizal fungal richness are poorly protected https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09277-4

"the two groups can overlap in the same environments... for instance, in Northern California, #DouglasFir #trees have ectomycorrhizal #fungi and #redwoods have arbuscular fungi... from the perspective of a #fungus interacting with their roots, they’re profoundly different"

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.

Maples are an important, often under-appreciated, part of the coastal forest here on Vancouver Island.

A year ago there was a narrow but beautiful and well-grown strip of second-growth Douglas Fir. 100+ year old trees. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
I miss that those trees.

🌲 The biggest “wild” old growth Douglas Fir (not in a park, not on a big tree registry) I’ve ever found. On Vancouver Island. Not on any trails. The mystery: Why did the loggers leave this one standing? There are stumps nearby from other, smaller original trees.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday I have a question. I often see mature cedar trees and Douglas fir growing very close to each other, touching, and I wonder why. Are they protecting each other from diseases, why do they grow so close to each other? If you have knowledge or a scientific explanation, I'd love to hear it.

I photographed these 4 trees last week on Vancouver Island, BC.

🌲 Douglas fir trunk in a Vancouver Island second-growth forest.
When a Douglas fir reaches “adulthood,” around 100 years, its bark becomes thick and deeply corrugated. It also becomes host to all manner of mosses and lichens and other animal and vegetable life.
