Cathedral Grove, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada CM11-21

Description : Cathedral Grove is a rare surviving old growth ecosystem with big trees (Douglas fir, western red cedar, grand fir and western hemlock) on Vancouver Island in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The largest trees in the ancient stand are about 800 years old and measure 75 m (250 ft) in height and 9 m (29 ft) in circumference. These magnificent big trees are the survivors of a forest fire that ravaged the area some 350 years ago and the even more devastating invasion of Europeans who colonized Vancouver Island from 1849.
