A forest scene shows a weathered boardwalk path leading into a vibrant, green forest. The path, made of wooden planks, is surrounded by lush ferns and moss-covered trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating dappled light along the trail and highlighting the rich texture of the forest.

A colossal #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is part of the #Tlaoquiaht #FirstNations #TribalPark.
I hiked the big trees trails there - magnificent!

Me, standing beside a colossal cedar tree in a sun-dappled, ancient, old growth forest. The woman, dressed in a purple tank top, white pants & brown boots, leans against the tree with a walking cane. The tree's massive trunk dominates the scene, its textured bark showing its age. In the foreground, on the ground near the tree's roots, is a sign that reads "Cedar Tree of Life." Green foliage surrounds the tree, adding to the lush, natural environment.

#ThickTrunkTuesday

This #ancient yellow #cedar #tree is older than the Great Wall of China & older than the Vatican.
All #ElderTrees - of this colossal & majestic scale, must be preserved & their ecosystems protected.

Vertical, eye-level shot. A colossal cedar tree with rough, vertically ridged bark is centered, filling most of the frame. The tree is surrounded by green trees, partially out of focus, creating depth of field. Sunlight filters through the leaves. The tree texture contrast strongly against with the leafy foliage.

This beautiful, ancient yellow #cedar tree has a massive, moss covered trunk. It is estimated at over 500 years old. There are very few #ElderTrees of this scale found outside of protected parks on Southern Vancouver Island now. The few remaining unprotected old growth forest tracts should be conserved for stability & longevity of our wild, ancient ecosystems & for the future generations to enjoy/admire/study.

The need to protect old growth forests has been the case for decades but even more important in present times because of accelerated climate change & the increased greedy desperation of corporate ecociders & our governments who aid/abet the pillaging which destroys wild environments that are essential for humans to sustain our lives on Earth. Valuable medicines are found & several medicines have yet to be found in these old growth, coastal temperate, wild rainforests. We need to protect these ancient forests for the above listed & many more important reasons.
