British Columbia Register of Big Trees

Can you help? We are interested in getting updated measurements for any trees on the register. Please consider passing this information on to us using the nomination form on this site.

We have included wood volume (explanation of this measurement technique coming soon), and tree condition when known.

Trees reported as dead or blown over have been moved to the bottom of each category and put on a grey background. (Sept. 1, 2000)
