Harris Creek Sitka Spruce, Ancient Sitka spruce near Port Renfrew, Canada.
The Harris Creek Sitka Spruce reaches 80 meters in height with a diameter of 4 meters at its base, displaying moss-covered branches throughout its structure.
This exceptional tree survived the initial logging operations of 1893, standing as a solitary remnant of the original old-growth forest in the region.
The tree represents the preservation of natural heritage on Vancouver Island, serving as a testament to British Columbia's forest conservation efforts.
Located 20 kilometers from Port Renfrew along Pacific Marine Road, the site offers wheelchair-accessible paths and adequate parking for visitors.
The tree's root system extends visibly above ground, creating distinctive flares at its base that required protective fencing to prevent damage.
