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.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:

    Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.
    Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)

    I know that there are many persons to whom it seems derogatory to link a body of philosophic ideas to the social life and culture of their epoch. They seem to accept a dogma of immaculate conception of philosophical systems.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
