In 2011, logger Dennis Cronin discovered the enormous tree while surveying a patch of forest that was to be logged for timber. He wrapped a ribbon around the tree and wrote "Leave Tree" on the ribbon, saving it from being felled. In 2014, photographer and activist T.J. Watt happened upon the tree and named it "Big Lonely Doug", a play on the tree's species name and its relative isolation amid the clearcut. The tree has since become a symbol of nature conservation in Canada.

About 5 km west of the Bee View Suite you'll find Sandcut Beach. The short nature trail down to the beach is manageable by young and old alike and the waterfall to the left as you get to the beach is well worth visiting!
