Tolkien Giant
The Tolkien Giant is a massive ancient western redcedar (Thuja plicata) in Vancouver Island's central Walbran Valley, documented by the Ancient Forest Alliance as the ninth-widest western red cedar in British Columbia with a circumference of 14.4 metres and a height of 42 metres. It is a designated natural monument situated within a protected reserve, though nearby old-growth is under forestry pressure. For adventurous cyclists willing to travel deep into the Walbran, it represents a rare encounter with one of BC's most impressive living trees.
