Lees Trail Western Redcedar: Map Pin & Tree Context

The map pin “Lees Trail Western Redcedar (Treegate)” needs caution: reporting in April 2025 described the removal of a large cedar leaning across Lees Trail. An older map label is not confirmation that a particular tree is still standing.

About Lees Trail Western Redcedar (Treegate)

The local report concerns mature-tree removal during forest management and identifies a cedar over Lees Trail. We have not independently matched the exact Google map pin to that tree, so this guide does not promise its present appearance, age or intact condition. The pin is best treated as a location needing current confirmation.

Finding the right arrival point

For a forest visit, orient yourself using Lees Trail and the official trail guidance, rather than walking toward a point icon without a return route. Stanley Park Ecology describes Lees as a route through the southwest forest between Lost Lagoon and the coast; its past guided event is not a current booking.

What to check before visiting

Check forest-work notices and stay on open paths. Do not pass work barriers or search off-trail for a tree that may have changed. Fallen wood and large stumps are habitat, and a historic photograph does not establish a safe place to climb or enter.

Combine this stop with nearby places

Choose Cathedral Trail for a different named forest connection or the Hollow Tree for a separately documented preserved stump. If the cedar itself is your main reason for visiting, obtain current location evidence before committing your whole outing to this pin.

Sources and current information

Check current operating details with the responsible operator. A source-review date does not claim an on-site visit; older route references do not establish current access.
