You get an idea of what the old growth forests looked like when the early pioneers arrived here, when you go to the giant Spruce Grove in Radley Park. This tree was registered as B.C.'s largest living spruce tree in 1983 and is protected by environmental law. Over 500 years old, it is the oldest living organism in the Kitimat Valley and stands more than 160 ft. tall and nearly 38 feet around.
The logs on this truck aren't quite as big but it's headed for Eurocan and will become tomorrow's newspaper.
