The World’s Largest Burl is on the move.

According to a news release from the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), the Town of Port McNeill will be creating a new public space closer to the main business and tourist areas to showcase its iconic attraction.

The town and local volunteers aim to complete the project prior to this summer’s tourism season through an investment with Island Coastal Trust.
