This tree is only ~1m shorter than the Carmanah Giant, however, this tree also has a live top and continues to grow and one day could grow past the Giant. This tree is relatively easy to access and is only minutes from the hwy/Sayward Junction. It is documented here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1_hTSBMrUI&t=1s

]]> Comment on Why Vancouver Island’s Walbran Valley Rainforest Matters by Stig Naess https://vancouverisland.com/why-vancouver-islands-walbran-valley-rainforest-matters/#comment-123832 Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:39:33 +0000 http://vancouverisland.com/?p=21248#comment-123832 Quite a few years ago, 1965 to be exact, I came to Vancouver Island with my family. We settled in Courtenay, and got a job in Nimpkish logging camp as a ‘chokerman’. A lot of mud and a lot of guys with a lot of guts and togetherness, while rain was pouring down day and night. As a logger in my home country Norway, this was an exploration to me. The company was by the way: Canadian Forest Products, I will remember. After a while I got a job for the Forestry as a faller, clearing up for a new road to Gold River. Quite an experience for a ‘rookie’ to fall those huge trees. I understand now that was to intrude into rainforest nature, but that was then. The snow came and no job in sight, but that was another story.

Hi Véronique, Pacific Sands is an all-inclusive resort, so I don’t believe they offer the services you require, but you would need to contact them directly to check.

They give beauty to the eye and the environment.Those large trees of endurance in growing is a testament to the period of time to grow and the weather that they endured to survive.
