This HUGE burl is really cool, but we can't figure out why they hid it in a parking lot?
It should be moved near the waterfront or harbour area.
It's hard to get a good picture that shows the true scale of it's size, so I had Colleen sit beside it. Check this out if you're in town.

Not exactly exciting. Do not go out of your way to see this. Located in what appears to be a forgotten parking lot, it would be very easy to drive by...and not even notice it.

We are local explorers going down every highway and byway we can find in our region of Mount Waddington. We discovered this awesome Burl display recently when we were visiting the forestry offices nearby to talk maps and backcountry driving. Its very photogenic.

You have to love the ability of communities large and small to find the world's "biggest" or "oldest" or whatever. McNeill has a large lump from a tree - the "worlds largest burl". I don't know by what authority this stellar claim to fame is made but, really, who cares - it is a very impressive burl and has a shelter to enhance its importance. If you are in the area, get a selfie in front of this giant piece of tree and show all of your friends and family - you are bound to be a hit on Facebook :)

The burl was quite something, must have been a big of work to get that one out of the bush. Make sure to visit the museum beside it, rich history and our guide/volunteer was hilarious. I didn't know that the trees in the rain forest of Vancouver Island can grow to three feet in diameter in 42 years, and that parts of the Island have been logged three times. Makes me rethink my view of logging sustainability. What a neat place!
