The New Seven Sisters Trees are seven trees planted a few metres from what is left of the original Seven Sisters Trees. The original Seven Sisters trees were once the most popular attraction in Stanley Park. They were seven of the tallest trees in the world in a little grove which felt like a cathedral. Unfortunately, they had to be cut down. This re-planting of the seven sisters trees is an attempt to grow seven more giants!
The plaque says:
Seven Sisters Replantation
September 27, 1988
In commemoration of Stanley Park's centennial, Seven Douglas Fir trees were planted by the Park Board Commissioners in fond memory of an original stand of monument trees known as the "Seven Sisters". The original site, not far from here is marked by a plaque and the seven remaining stumps.
