Cedar Trees
By John McLachlan
One of the nice things about living in a more remote place is the proximity to natural surroundings. One of my favourite walks is along a high bluff on Hornby Island above Lambert Channel.
The trail is an old logging road that was used when the mountain was logged in the 1950s. Most of the trees were taken down but some younger ones remained. In this video I am in an area where some cedar trees stand.
The primary trees on the island are Cedar, Douglas Fir and Grand Fir. The Western Redcedar (Thuja plicate) is the Provincial tree of British Columbia.
Cedar trees always make me think of Emily Carr paintings including the one found here.
