The Cascadian Doug Flag is one of the cherished symbols representing the Cascadian Bioregion. The different aspects of the flag have the following meanings: - The Blue is for the unpolluted sky, the Pacific Ocean and the rivers, lakes, and watersheds that flow in Cascadia.
- The White represents the clouds that drift overhead and the snow over our mountain tops.
- The Green represents the deep Cascadian forests and the lush and fertile fields.
- The Conifer tree found in a variety of species throughout the bioregion stands in defiance of storm, fire, and Man. The Conifer tree represents the Douglas Fir, the Redwood, the Cedar, the Spruce, the Juniper, and all other Pacific Northwest evergreens that have withstood the test of time.
