Tree climbers with the Arboreal Collective and members of the Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA) have once again teamed up to scale Big Lonely Doug, Canada's second largest Douglas-fir tree, found near Port Renfrew on southern Vancouver Island, BC.

This round, AFA photographer and campaigner TJ Watt filmed the climb using a DJI Phantom 3 Pro drone. He also captured the climb in photos here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...

Two photographers, Martin Gregus Sr & Jr, from the One 50 Canada Society were also present to document the climb for a cross-Canada book project that will include Big Lonely Doug.   / one50canadasociety  

Big Lonely Doug measures 66 metres (216 feet) in height and 3.8 metres (12.4 feet) in diameter. It was once part of the Eden Grove until its surrounding old-growth forests was clearcut by Teal-Jones in 2012. Conservationists are working to protect the rest of the Eden Grove, which has been surveyed for further potential future logging by Teal-Jones.

The Ancient Forest Alliance is a British Columbian organization working to protect the endangered old-growth forests of BC and to ensure sustainable forestry jobs in the province. Learn more at: http://www.AncientForestAlliance.org
