About this verified tree
This Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir near Old Fort Point Loop in Jasper survived the 2024 Jasper Wildfire even though the surrounding forest burned. The lower trunk is heavily charred for roughly the first 10 feet, but the upper trunk and crown remain alive, green, and healthy. It is a strong field example of Douglas-fir fire resistance and a high-value survivor tree record.
