We fought hard to save the ancient trees & their life-sustaining wild ecosystems, to get Avatar Grove area protected & turned into a public park. It was previously on the corporate deforestation list prior to the hard grassroots fight to save this area of Port Renfrew, where old growth forests were rapidly dwindling due to colonial capitalist style of short-term greedy gains & putting nature last. Nature should be first.

A large, ancient cedar tree with a huge twisted, gnarled trunk stands in a vibrant forest. The background is a mix of green and pink hues, creating a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere around the massive tree. Sunlight filters through the canopy.

This is a black and white image of an ancient cedar tree at Upper Avatar Grove near Vancouver Island's west coast. The tree has a huge burl completely surrounding the tree, as well as a couple of smaller burls, earning it the moniker of the world's gnarliest tree.
