Forest Tourism
Forest tourism is a type of tourism that involves wildlife activities occurring in forest areas, with tourism as the primary purpose. These activities can be referred to as forest tourism or forest ecotourism, regardless of whether they directly use the forest or not.
Forest parks are an essential part of an independent ecological and economic system in social civilization. It is crucial to rationalize the construction of forest parks and to develop forest tourism scientifically.
Combining the ecological culture construction of forest parks with the construction of the national forestry ecological culture system is crucial to promoting forest parks' greater social and ecological benefits.
The design and construction of forest parks must follow the principle of high-standard design before construction and reflect the concept of the harmonious development of man and nature. We must also protect the natural forest and ecological landscape as the core and appropriately add artificial landscape to ensure the integrity of the natural and human landscape in the forest park.
Vancouver is a city that relies on forests, and it has numerous forest parks with a wide variety of trees, such as pine trees, oak trees, maple trees, walnut trees, cherry trees, chestnut trees, hazelnut trees, and fir trees, forming large mixed forests.
Every autumn, these trees produce a lot of seeds and fruits, which provide sufficient food for forest animals. Autumn is also the season when animals rush to stock up on food for the winter.
Black squirrels love to eat the seeds of pine trees, and they run to their nests with pine towers in their mouths. Brown squirrels find freshly ripened walnuts from the trees and weave their way through the branches.
Gray squirrels are more fond of chestnuts and use their paws to pick through the shells of the thorny chestnuts. Yellow-bellied squirrels prefer hazelnuts, stuffing their mouths and running to their nests.
