Stanley Park’s famous hollow tree isn’t much to look at these days.

Wrapped in cables, propped up by poles and fenced off to the public, the tree barely rates a glance from visiting tourists.

Bruce MacDonald is part of the Stanley Park Hollow Tree Conservation Society. He recalls a time when the giant cedar was one of the most photographed images in Vancouver.

“Anyone who grows up in Vancouver knows and loves the hollow tree,” he says.

It’s this appreciation for the tree that’s compelling him to save it.
