Yes, but it took until an old white British guy codified in the early 1930s for the living tree doctrine to be a thing.

And it was hard-coded in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by Pierre Trudeau. It's the primary reason why the Canadian fight for marriage equality was so open and shut compared to what the US is still going through.
