Old-growth Mossy Bigleaf Maples

Old-growth bigleaf maples are the most plant-covered trees (mosses, ferns and other epiphytes) in North America and the very few scarce old-growth stands are found in a handful of locations on southern Vancouver Island. Another reason for the necessity of ecosystem-based protected areas targets.

Seems like this tree creates an ecosystem of its own.
This is now one of my favorite trees. Thank you
