According to an article by Harley Rustad, Doug had been saved in 2011 by surveyor Dennis Cronin in an area that was scheduled for clearcutting. (Cutblock number 7190, twelve hectares on the north bank of the Gordon River.)https://www.ancientforestalliance.org/feature-big-lonely-doug/, Feature: Big Lonely Doug .. Originally published by The Walrus, where the article won a silver National Magazine Award (2018), https://www.harleyrustad.com/portfolio/big-lonely-doug, Big Lonely Doug.. the story helped to re-ignite interest in the clearcutting issue and attracted additional coverage by the major news media. Several publications subsequently ran similar articles about clear-cutting, featuring photos of the Big Lonely Doug tree in an area with no other remaining old-growth trees. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/article-meet-doug-bcs-biggest-celebri-tree/, Meet Doug: B.C.'s biggest celebri-tree .. https://www.cbc.ca/books/big-lonely-doug-1.4759533, Big Lonely Doug .. Most recently, in early September 2019, the Toronto Star published a feature about the issue, titled He lived in a forest for hundreds of Years, Now he must live in a clear-cut. Doug had become a tourist attraction by then, marked on Google Maps. https://www.pressreader.com/canada/toronto-star/20190902/281698321423225, He lived in a forest for hundreds of Years, Now he must live in a clear-cut.
