Popular Culture
Douglas firs became an iconic symbol in the television series Twin Peaks.
The 'Doug flag', the popularly proposed flag of the Cascadian Independence movement, incorporates the Douglas-fir as a central part.
On May 14, 2001, a Douglas-fir was planted in honor of Douglas Adams after his death on May 11, 2001. They are also sometimes planted on Towel Day.

The struggle of the fly in marmalade.”
