We have big trees...

We have giant trees on Vancouver Island, some as many as 800-1000 years old. There are a few around greater Victoria, but the first good stand is at Cathedral Grove between Parksville and Port Alberni. This stand is right along the highway. Another good stand is on Meares Island near Tofino. You have to take a water taxi to get to these trees (shown to the right), but it is well worth the small effort. There are also other stands that you have to hike into like the Walbran Valley. Come visit our island and these gentle giants that live in our forests.
