Comments: The tree is in a flat area of a mostly old-growth forest. The tree is well buffered by other large trees and should continue to be protected in the park setting. It is possible that this tree is the same as ID 1835, which was first reported in 2011. They have similar physical dimensions. But lacking a photo of ID 1835, there is no way to be certain.
