Jurassic it depends on the stand, but some were probably saplings when Christ was on the cross. Some are much younger, probably 600-800 years on average for an old growth patch


We cut a oak that was from the late 1700s and we were all amazed, cutting thousands year+ trees is amazing, what a privilege to see and work with something like that.

As far as climbing big trees goes, the new ascenders make it much easier than it used to be with the spikes, just shoot a line up and climb the rope.

Great pics.wont see trees that big around here.
Biggest would be white spruce or white pine a bit further south.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Lumber build the houses that folks live in. Much like the fishing industry feeds the world. Much like farmers and cattlemen feed the world.

I hold farmers, foresters, ranchers, comm. fish guys in the highest regarards.

Where you at? I worked at Port Alice and at Soda Bay in 1990, Hooktender. I hated it up there, but the pay was more than in WA. I found out why when I saw the camp. Stuck it out for one season and returned to WA.

Fuel is supplied. And I'll even show you how to grind a chain if you like. Some is virgin ground, we cut second growth patches that got logged during WW2 also

That is likely the biggest (and oldest) trees being logged today in NA.

Those pics remind me of pics of the virgin longleaf pine and cypress forests of the Southeastern US and the logging ops here.
