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

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

That's a big tree!
Quite a contrast.
I do miss those massive trees.
That is certainly a big tree!
That really is a big tree!
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.
