The urban forest takes many shapes, appearing in small pockets parks, street plantings, as well as large tracts of set asides. The most impressive can often be the most unassuming. Small places that provide shade and an experience of natural forms.

This is a pocket park in East Vancouver, a region of the city historically poor in trees and forest experiences, at least since the mass deforestation of colonial logging in the 19th century.
