Junior Forest Warden Tree and Plaque
The Junior Forest Warden Tree is not very well known tree in Stanley Park that has a plaque. What is unique about it is that the earth that it was planted in comes from all parts of British Columbia. There is probably no other tree that contains more of British Columbia than this tree!

This tree was planted on May 2, 1931, by the honourable N.S. Lougheed, minister of lands for British Columbia in earth gathered from all parts of this province, in honour of the junior forest wardens of the Canadian Forestry Association.
