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.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Much of the ill-tempered railing against women that has characterized the popular writing of the last two years is a half-hearted attempt to find a way back to a more balanced relationship between our biological selves and the world we have built. So women are scolded both for being mothers and for not being mothers, for wanting to eat their cake and have it too, and for not wanting to eat their cake and have it too.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
