Register of Big Trees in B.C.

About the registry

The Big Tree Registry aims to to record the 10 biggest specimens of each tree species native to B.C.

We include wood volume, and tree condition when known.

Trees reported as dead or blown over are moved to the bottom of each category in the registry table and put on a grey background.

For a guide to identification of B.C.'s native trees, view the Ministry of Forests' on-line Tree Book.

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.

• Unfortunately, the CDC record tree files lack the original photographs. These must be replaced. If you have photographs of any of British Columbia’s record trees, please contact the CDC (250-356-0928). If any people appear in your photo, please have them sign a Model Release prior to submitting your photo. Otherwise your photograph cannot be displayed on our website or in publications.
