I like this headline better than my own subject line. And it bears repeating, so here it is again.

If this is being done because of liability concerns -- ie. someone might sue -- well, i guess we had better rethink what the purpose of a park actually is.

Yes, natural spaces can be dangerous!
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and leave nature alone.

Went for a walk in #CathedralGrove. Chilly but the sun is nice and the forest is green.

Took me a little while to get back to this, but this is my favourite nurse log image. From 2013, made from 11 images with an old 10MP point and shoot camera at Cathedral Grove.

Meanwhile, a small but aggressive wildfire on #VancouverIsland continues to burn beside the only major highway linking #PortAlberni #Tofino & #Ucluelet to the rest of #BritishColumbia .
Route is closed until further notice as the nearly one-square-knblaze spreads in steep terrain south of #CameronLake not far from #CathedralGrove home to some of #Canada ’s #oldest & #tallest #trees
