Towering like ancient sentinels, douglas firs are known for their impressive height, and ability to live for more than 1000 years! As the state tree of Oregon, Doughye and Dougie embody the spirit of resilience, community, and the great outdoors​​. The Douglas fir was designated as the Oregon state tree in 1939. It was chosen for its significant ecological, economic, and cultural contributions to the state. As a vital part of Oregon's forests, the Douglas fir symbolizes the natural beauty and richness of the region, reflecting the state's deep connection to its timber industry and the lush landscape that define Oregon. Douglas firs are notable not only for their impressive height and longevity but also for their thick, furrowed bark, which offers protection from fire and pests. This evergreen conifer, part of the pine family (Pinaceae), is highly valued for its timber, which is used in construction, furniture, and paper products. Douglas firs thrive in diverse environments, from coastal ranges to mountainous regions, showcasing their adaptability and resilience.
