In Stanley Park (or any Canadian park or forest I've been to), you immediately understand why tree-hugging became a thing.

@thetyee We're vacationing in Vancouver and are excited to spend time in Stanley Park!

@thetyee I always wonder how frequently would have been in a forest fire, if it weren't in the midst of a city. Once in a century? More often? I doubt the current underbrush would have accumulated under natural conditions.
