The 400-Year-Old Douglas Fir Cut Down in Stanley Park

Stanley Park is home to some of the most iconic trees in Canada, but recently, a 400-year-old Douglas fir tree was cut down. This ancient giant had witnessed centuries of ...history, standing tall long before Vancouver even existed. 🌲

In this video, I explore the story of this incredible tree — its age, its significance to Stanley Park’s ecosystem, and why it had to be removed. While the decision was made for safety reasons, its loss leaves a powerful reminder of how fragile even the strongest parts of nature can be.

Join me as I walk through the site, share the history of the Douglas fir, and reflect on the legacy it leaves behind.

📍 Location: Stanley Park, Vancouver, BC🌲 Tree: Douglas Fir (~400 years old)
