The Big Fir chronicles the epic journey of one of the world’s last towering trees, rooted in history since the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD and now facing the roar of modern chainsaws. Set against the rugged beauty of British Columbia’s west coast, this tale oscillates between the boardrooms of colossal forestry conglomerates and the breathtaking landscapes of the world’s last untouched temperate watersheds. Delve into a world where ambition clashes with preservation, where greed, passion, enmity, and love intertwine, all set against the backdrop of a habitat as vast as Kuwait, teetering on the brink of change.
