Big Lonely Doug measures 66 metres (216 feet) in height and 3.8 metres (12.4 feet) in diameter. It was once part of the Eden Grove until its surrounding old-growth forests was clearcut by Teal-Jones in 2012. Conservationists are working to protect the rest of the Eden Grove, which has been surveyed for further potential future logging by Teal-Jones.
