Walbran forest .. British Columbia's Carmanah Walbran Park is a majestic, awe inspiring, magical, and intensely spiritual sanctuary. Ancient, moss coated forests stand undisturbed .
The park's untouched wilderness, on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, has become internationally known for its role in preserving the largest known Sitka spruce trees in the world. It is home to the Carmanah Giant; at 95 m (313 ft) it is the world's tallest Sitka spruce. The fact that there are more than 200 very old growth Sitka spruce here is significant alone, as such spruce trees have very particular needs and grow only in 2% of BC's forests. These giants tower like skyscrapers, often 70 m (230 ft) high and 9.4 m (31 ft) in circumference. Carmanah Walbran is also home to massive western red cedars, some almost 1,000 years old.
