About
Tells the story of a large Douglas fir tree named Big Lonely Doug located in an old-growth forest near Port Renfrew, British Columbia that was saved by a logger named Dennis Cronin who tied a ribbon around its trunk saying "leave tree". In telling this story, the author explores such topics as the ecology of old-growth forests and their future, the legend of the West Coast's big trees, the instability of the logging industry, the fight for preservation, the contention surrounding ecotourism, and First Nations land and resource rights. Originally featured as a long-form article in The walrus.
