The north temperate rain forest on the west coast of Vancouver Island is a magical place with high biomass and biodiversity. Meares Island on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, has many the large old western red cedars (Thuja plicata) that are from 1000-1500 years old, and up to 60 feet in diameter and over 200 ft (60 m) tall. The island is unceded territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht (Clayoquot) tribal people. It was the site of an anti-logging protest in 1984 by the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) aboriginal people (which include the Tla-o-qui-aht tribe), supported by many environmentalists. The court ruled against logging and the old growth rain forest remains intact. A wooden board walk was constructed to give access to the biggest trees.
