[CANUFNET] Hollow Cedar Tree

Thu Mar 27 09:42:57 EDT 2014

Thank u Julian for sharing the video and your efforts for tree legacy and
to Brenlee for starting the dialogue of tree stories! I can remember my
Aunt Stella taking me on my first visit to Vancouver into Stanley Park to
proudly show me the tree. She said in her younger days they'd back their
car in for 'spooning'. It was a treat to cycle by and see it on the Tour
Des Trees, 2002. May have done it twice..was with Greg Hill and we had no
directions. An off road trail ride  in the magestic forest to find our way
to the bridge and ferry onto Naniamo in support of tree research. Team
Canada Rocks! Tour riders may have some stories of notable trees to share.
