www.VancouverIslandTreeStories.ca is a multi-media project by Richard Boyce highlighting tree species growing native on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each unique species will be presented with short videos focusing on the Natural, Traditional, and Modern elements to reflect the way in which these trees are found in the landscape today. This video focuses on the nature of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) These trees require dry well drained soil and are found primarily on the south-east coast of Vancouver Island where the rainfall is far less than on the Pacific coast and the climate is considered ‘Mediterranean.’ Isolated trees are found across the entire island, typically growing on dryer south-facing slopes.
