I’ve had the good fortune to visit the Cheewaht Cedar in Ditidaht territory on Vancouver Island. If this one a hundred kilometres north on Flores Island is properly protected along with its surrounding ecosystem, and all other old growth, I hope to visit it. An ancient wonder. A monument to the permanence of life.

Conservation photographer TJ Watt, known for capturing some of B.C.’s most monumental trees, says he recorded the images of a lifetime of a 46 metre-tall, five-metre-wide Western red cedar in the Ahoushat First Nation on Vancouver Island, near Tofino.

@chris I feel like most of the people who advocate for cutting down old growth forests have never truly stood in one, spent any time among trees and forests that predate humanity as we know it.
