MacMillan Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada
This small (1.6 km
2
) popular park with its mighty Cathedral
Grove straddles busy Highway 4 near the east coast of Vancouver Island. It is
not completely untouched: some old cut
Thuja plicata
(western redcedar) stumps can be seen. The canopy is composed mainly of the following species:
Pseudotsuga menziesii
var.
menziesii
(coast Douglas-fir),
Tsuga heterophylla
(western hemlock) and
Thuja plicata
. Particularly the first and last mentioned species include remarkably large specimens. The largest
Pseudotsuga menziesii
individuals are over 800 years old
1
. Tree species diversity is low and most species are easy to identify.
No camping permitted.
