Big Tree

So when Benjamin Madison told me about the big trees on the campus of Royal Roads University, I was intrigued. What an experience to turn off the very busy Sooke Road, and step into this other world. Out of the blazing sun and roaring traffic and in among this giant old trees. I highly recommend it. - Fern

Old growth trees are one the greatest treasures on Vancouver Island.

There is an unofficial formula for dating them; 100 years per foot diameter, which would make this one in the 800-1,000 yr range.
There remain some protected ones in excess of 2,000 years age found in the Carmanah Walbran Valley.
