bc and big trees

i am in bc now, learning about trees. so you can already guess what this blog post will be about. we started off in vacouver and went to see a research forest just outside vancouver. they had some huge trees, i guess some of the biggest i have ever seen. vancouver also has an amazing park, stanley park, with some really big trees. it is so different from ontario, and there are a bunch of new trees that i haven't seen before,such as douglas fir, subalpine fir, western red cedar, bigleaf maple, vine maple, douglas maple and western serviceberry. tomorrow we are off to alberta. and i almost forgot to mention that we have seen lots of trees that are dead because of the mountain pine beetle.
